Today, I will be going over various artists and their albums, including Radiohead, Death Grips and Frank Ocean and more, and their studio albums and finding the most expensive ones. These albums range in quality and genre so there's something for everyone! As well as seeing some weird music videos and pricy stuff, spending over $1000 on music. This was an interesting one.

I own a sealed Black Friday Blonde. I always buy myself Christmas presents (records) early then wait to open them until Christmas Day. So I did that with this record and on Christmas morning before opening it to give it a listen I thought to myself “stop, this was only on sale for one day and is quite possibly the greatest record of the decade, look up what it’s worth first.” And as of Christmas 2016, it was worth $200. I was like damn hold up this may be my rarest record, I gotta treasure this thing! So I kept it sealed. Crazy seeing the prices people are currently selling it for.

if you ever do make another one of these, there's this album called "once upon a time in shaolin" by the wu-tang clan. not only is the vinyl copy the only physical copy in existence, but it's literally THE only copy in existence. it was never released digitally, never leaked, never sold physically, meaning that whoever has the vinyl is the only person in existence to have ever listened to the album (besides the creators, of course.) it was auctioned off for 2 MILLION DOLLARS to martin shkreli, before he got arrested by police. after that, the record went into the possession of the government, and nobody has ever heard it since, meaning its basically lost media.
