Robert Johnson – Me and the Devil Blues (1938)

Robert Johnson is undeniably the godfather of blues, having started the occult practice of selling one’s soul to the devil to be able to perform the style of music properly (or so he stated). Me and the Devil Blues is a song describing this spooky process, one which you will need to pay a hefty sum to learn more about. You might not need to sell your soul to the devil to be able to pay the blues, but you will certainly need to do so if you want to have enough money to buy this legendary record.

The White Stripes – Lafayette Blues (1998)

In 1998, artist Dave Buick teamed up with The White Stripes to create this creative marketing event for this Lafayette Blues edition. Buick painted fifteen amazing prints of this record. He also founded Italy Records. This record is a must-have memento for those that were lucky enough to attend the accompanying concert for this sensational release. But those who actually picked up a version at the time would only have paid $6, which they would today be able to resell for $12,700!
