Jean-Michel Jarre – Music for Supermarkets
The year is 1983 and Parisian artists are putting together a colorful exhibition celebrating and simultaneously critiquing consumerism and the age of the supermarket. When Jean-Michel Jarre was approached to provide his own contribution, he excitedly agreed to put something together, namely a record named Music for Supermarkets. This record was his work of art for the exhibition, and it was purchased for $14,000 ($33,500 when adjusted for modern inflation). Jarre would make sure that no trace of the record’s production remained, and so this is the sole physical copy of the album.
Ferris Wheel – Supernatural Girl
While there might not be that many ‘stoner-folk’ fans around compared to the more popular types of music discussed in this list, Ferris Wheel is one of the substance-fueled movement’s biggest contributors. Their Supernatural Girl record is worth $15,000, provided that the original sleeve contains the vinyl and that the copyright label saying ‘blakeyburch’ is still attached. The sleeve should also be pitch black, and its opening should be at the top instead of on the right side.
