The Five Sharps – Stormy Weather (1952)
This is definitely the rarest vinyl that we have discussed as of yet: the 1952 release of Stormy Weather by The Five Sharps. Sadly, this release by the 50s band performed terribly commercially, to the point that its members had to start purchasing the collection themselves. The three copies that the failed musicians missed out on would then ironically become enormously valued thanks to this strange buyback process. You can now purchase one for $20,000!

The Velvet Underground – The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)
Here we have the holy grail of punk rock, The Velvet Underground’s infamous 1967 release. Back in the 60s, this release caused something of a scandal thanks to its offensive content. The label was then forced to begin clearing the records out of stores, but not before 30,000 copies were sold. There was once a Canadian record aficionado who found a surviving copy in a local flea market, which he took off its former owner for a few cents. Its true resale value? Try $25,200 out for size!
