Tommy Wright III and most Memphis rap mixtapes and mixtape CDs are super expensive. At least hundreds.

[@duprie37]

I sold a CD copy of AC/DC's Highway to Hell that I bought for $5 for around $200 on Discogs. I had to do some real digging to find out what was going on, as other editions were selling for just a few dollars as expected. Turned out my copy was one of the earliest CD prints & it had been transferred directly from the original masters without any remastering applied, transferred as AAD, so it was the only "original" untouched mix of the album available digitally. All other CD editions after that - including all those released to streaming services - had been remastered & "fiddled with". That is why my copy was really rare and fetched such a relatively high price even though it was "just" a CD, not even mint. Because that specific mix as a digital release was very rare.

I've recently started collecting CDs of Japanese metal bands. The Japanese music industry is volatile to say the least and albums can quickly go out of print and can be difficult to locate. Some bands will release a CD with a limited run Boxed Set that includes a concert DVD or Blu-ray. Those can be extremely hard to find and I've paid as much as $180 for a rare box just so I can watch the 'extra' concert Blu-ray.

[@ForeverAnalog]

[@ivyunlucky]

Agreed! Coil is such an amazing musical project.

[@Cincinnatijames]

I'm one of the 23 with the limited edition COIL "beast box" live box. You should check out the albums Love's Secret Domain, Horse Rotorvator and The Apes of Naples. These are probably their most accessible work. Peter Christopherson was part of the art collective Hipnosis, which did many of the famous 70's rock album covers. In the 80's and 90's he did music videos for Van Halen, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Ben Folds Five...

[@ForeverAnalog]

AMAZING! That's so cool. I really enjoyed learning more about this release and the band. Thank you for suggesting where to start listening!

[@inigomontoya6806]

That would be Hipgnosis, but did not realize Peter was involved with them. Even though I have nearly all of their catalog, I won't be getting this live one....simply too pricey.

[@tmckenna68]

I won an eBay auction for the Dylan boxsrt in May 2024. With tax and shipping, I got it for $881. No regrets - the box gives an insider’s look at the creation of three of the best albums ever created (Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde On Blonde). Totally worth it!

[@ForeverAnalog]

Amazing - it looks awesome and very comprehensive!

[@TimmyTantrum]

CD collector here, with some vinyl. Discogs is a great resource. I started cataloging my collection right after the 2017 Northern California fires. I have almost 70 successful purchases on there, but I always check seller reviews. I also cross-reference Amazon, eBay, cdjapan, ImportCD, etc. for the best price. I find the chase is better than the catch when trying to fill out my collection. Luckily, with my level of completionism, if I can acquire a physical copy of every available track through a retail $10 copy, then I don't care about the rare limited edition fanclub-only OOP pressing. But, it is an expensive hobby sometimes... I'm not proud of how much I've shelled out on box sets that contain the only CD releases of rare B-sides, promos, and/or previously unreleased material.

[@ForeverAnalog]

I'm a big fan of the chase too! Thanks for watching!

Two reissues of Runner are on the Bay for under $40, and a G*Squad on eB for $3k. The Eminem disc was released before he gained significant notoriety at Scribble Jam in Cincinnati 1997. He was still mowing his grandma's grass when he blew up. Woodstock is on the Bay for $2500 and $3500.

I also have a copy. This was packaged in a plywood box, to replicate the plywood from the stage. Mine had some misaligned screws, so they gave me a discount. The retail price was $800.00.

I am living in the 90s European electronic music niche mostly. While you wont see thousands, there are many compilations (e.g. Important Compilation #1) or albums (Man with no name - Moment Of Truth) that will hover around the 90-100 usd mark in near mint condition. Yes, vinyl still brings in more money (Dune album LP from 1995 for 300 usd), shipping CDs is so much easier and there are less fatalities in terms of broken or bend records. I had my fair share of broken records. Proper worldwide shipping of extreme expensive records is likewise extremely expensive. And people rarely talk about the pita of customs once you reached a certain threshold of thousands of dollars. Depending on the country you will be in for lots of paperwork.

Look at the 2001 Japanese release of South by Heather Nova. Not the promo version, just the standard version: Low: 663 yen (less than $6) Median: 3756 yen (a little over $30) High: 310,895 yen (conversion rate fluctuates, but when it sold that was somewhere around $3000) That had to be some sort of money laundering scheme, right? It doesn't make any sense. There are ten copies for sale on there right now so it's not exactly a rare item, and most of them are priced in the $10-20 range. The copy sold for that outrageous price was apparently mint, but then a mint copy of the very same CD sold for just 1,910 yen (less than $20) less than three months later.

You have a strange definition of "important". A rare, expensive michael jackson recording is one of the least important things I can think of. Expensive and rare do not equate to important.

That's what makes this hobby so much fun, we all have different opinions of what's important to us and the good news is, no one is right or wrong. Thanks for watching!

I LOVE CDS!!!!!

[@ForeverAnalog]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

I think that some cd's are selled for 3k bucks only for money laundering

[@sc0or]

Would you like to divide $2600 by 18 CDs (not including vinyls)? It’s not fair to put boxsets into the list. And I think you don’t consider some sales could include a CD with signatures. It can x10 a price (minimally)

[@ForeverAnalog]

Fair point but usually the Discogs seller would’ve included that there is a signature in the description to maximize value and none in this video contained such info or I would’ve pointed it out. Thanks for watching!

@@ForeverAnalog This was a totally pointless video. I don't see the point, do you?

[@hysterikole1]

makes me think discos would be a good place to launder money, or at least make untraceable payments (I know it can be traced thru the album, but not the 'real' sale, know what I mean?

[@Fossiil-Records]

Linda who?

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz9]

Im surprised by the low value. I would have thought the values would have been higher when we talk about something being rare.

[@RenarLostsolo]

Who will pay for Dylan???

[@Justinmeatybonds]

Low, median, and high is not always accurate. I've bought things for less than what is listed for the low. Discogs getting greedy and wanting to raise the median so they can get a larger cut?

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

Im a cd collector. Its a hardcopy.

[@GrimsBasementtreasures]

The most expensive CD I've ever bought was $400 though I have things that are worth more and I have seen it sold for as much as $1,400 elsewhere it's an old rap album called livin' that ghetto life a Cincinnati classic very rare as he has passed and it's never been repressed it's on KZbin but I just had to have the real thing you can't find it on legitimate streaming

[@ForeverAnalog]

Awesome, thanks for watching and sharing!

[@stevieg2755]

What's up with Pulse cd?

[@ForeverAnalog]

Like Pink Floyd? I find those often so I think too many were made to carry insane value. I could be wrong though!
