Wu-Tang Clan – Once Upon a Time in Shaolin

You might not think that any record could be more expensive than the previously discussed one, and certainly not a hip-hop vinyl from a relatively modern outfit, but Wu-Tang Clan’s unique Once Upon a Time in Shaolin release is an exceptionally bizarre case. This was a once-off release that could only be bought with a strict rule attached that would prohibit its resale for a minimum of 100 years! Its auctioning ended with a two-million dollars winning bid.

Long Cleve Reed & Little Harvey Hill, Original Stack O’Lee Blues 78 Rpm In Plain Sleeve

What a mouthful! This Long Cleve Reed & Little Harvey Hill vinyl was purchased by Joe Bussard (one of the biggest names in the record collecting game) for $70,000. There was only a single copy in existence, and Bussard had to have it. This record was recorded with the incredible 78 rpm format, which was a pioneering effort for the time. It was also one of the first records to be recorded with electronic recording machines.
