Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), Xanadu (1980)

Xanadu was a laughably terrible film, we are sad to say, but its soundtrack was quite enjoyable. Olivia Newton-John’s part was invaluable in making such a memorable record, as was Electric Light Orchestra. Sadly, Olivia was unimpressed with her likeness on the record’s slip, and it was pulled off the market. Below 30 prints escaped her destruction, and it is the superstar’s disliked presence on the slip that makes this novel record’s price so high: $9,100!

Hank Mobley – Blue Notes 1568 (1957)

While Hank Mobley may not have enjoyed as much time in the limelight that his pals like Miles Davis and John Coltrane did, he remains a favorite for classic jazz lovers. The Blue Notes 1568 record might be one of his biggest successes, but it seemed like fate wished for it to fail, given that labels ran out incredibly quickly while the record was being printed. You then either purchased a cover that has “47 West 63rd NYC” or “47 West 63rd New York 23” attached. Regardless of which version you have, you can be assured an $11,162 selling price!
