Music/The most expensive records of all time9 messages

I just came across on the net.

The most expensive records of all time

Only DJs and collectors buy vinyl records these days. And they are sometimes willing to give a lot of money for that. If you still have such an old single or LP somewhere, check the value anyway, on the internet or in a specialized magazine. Maybe it is a collector's item.

The English magazine Record Collector celebrates its 25th anniversary with a top 100 of the most valuable records of all time. This mainly concerns expenses from the 50s, 60s and 70s, so there is a good chance that you will have one or more at home. The records do not even have to be in the list because the vinyl market has grown explosively thanks to the organization of specialized fairs and in recent years also on the internet (e-bay). Nowadays, as much money is offered for unknown jazz, blues, reggae or hard rock records as for the big names.

But for the sake of convenience (and because we all know those big names), we stick to the overview of Record Collector. On 93 there are two Rolling Stones records, one a promotional piece, the other never released. Value: 1166 euros. For example, there are more things that cannot be found in the list. On 85 an interview single by Ringo Starr (€ 1312), on 53 a test pressing of Jimi Hendrix 'Electric Ladyland, a never released single by John Lennon, Woman is the nigger of the world, two 78rpm records by Elvis Presley from 1960 and a obscure project by Elton John (€ 1458), on 47 an extremely rare single by Pink Floyd (€ 1749) and higher up also records by The Beatles, U2, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, T -Rex, David Bowie, John Lennon & amp; Yoko Ono.
We all know the top 5, albeit not under those names or in that packaging.

1. That'll be the day / In spite of all danger (The Quarry Men)
The who? The Beatles when they weren't called that, in 1958. Not yet Ringo, but John, Paul and George. Format 10 ”(between single and LP), 78 rpm. Estimated value (but actually priceless): 150,000 euros. This unique piece, the original acetate record, is owned by Paul McCartney himself.
2. That'll be the day / In spite of all danger (The Quarry Men)
The same songs indeed, squeezed onto 25 45 rpm singles and 25 78 rpm records, handed out by McCartney as a Christmas present. Estimated value: 15,000 euros.
3. The Beatles (The Beatles)
The "double white" from "68, but in a different, numbered version. Ten copies, number 2 of which was sold in 1990 by a former landlord of John Lennon. The manager of Apple, the Beatles record house, owns number 1. Value: 15,000 euros. The second pressing (11 to 1000) and the export versions of the double LP are also worth a few thousand euros.
4. God save the queen (Sex Pistols)
On the A & amp; M label, and that's where the punk group was before the record was released (1977). 300 copies survived the debacle, some of which were only recovered in 1998. And promptly handed out as a golden handshake to the same cadres who had shown the group the door at the time. 7,500 euros.
5. Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
A special blue vinyl edition of what an entire generation thinks is the most beautiful pop song of all time. Should have been purple actually. 7500 euros if you want to buy one of the 200 copies.

Nice list, but ............. demonstrably incorrect or hopelessly outdated for years.

The "Velvet Underground 1966 acetate" is on Ebay on December 8, 2006 for $ 155,401, - changed hands, making it the most expensive ever in terms of realized price. This top-5 list disqualifies itself by not even mentioning that record. ;-)

Dat lijkt niet te kloppen, Peter.

At least I don't have any of them...

Nice research, I did not know that the eBay auction was canceled at the time. A person is never too old to learn.

Nevertheless, 25,000, - should still be good for a top-5 ranking.

I also believe that I by the way, none of them have.

Er there are a few that with a little luck you might encounter at a flea market for not very high prices

because they seem fairly ordinary.

Meddle by Pink Floyd

Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody

and the A & amp; M version of Sex Pistols.

Think you will I have to go to the UK for that.

A signed Beatles LP has been auctioned for £ 12,000.

The BBC . The record Please Please Me was signed by all four Beatles and went under the hammer in Sussex, UK.

Chris Collins and his sister initially hoped to catch £ 15,000 for the album and previously declined the £ 12,000 offer. They later decided to accept the offer for the LP their late father had received.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr signed the record after they which had been used as a coaster in 1963.

Please Please Me is the Beatles' debut album. Songs like Love Me Do and Twist and Shout are from the album.

Initially it was put up for auction and then it did not reach the 15 thousand they had expected.

Well the 12 thousand

That is why it was put up for sale again

and this is something different

A letter that John Lennon wrote to Eric Clapton on September 29, 1971, asking him to participate in a musical project, recently sold at auction for $ 35,000 (26,800 euros).

According to the magazine Rolling Stone , this 8-page letter, handwritten by the erstwhile Beatle and signed by 'John and Yoko' was in fine condition. According to experts, the letter could reach a top price of $ 20,000 and $ 30,000. source Beatlesfanclub.nl

Ringo Starr's copy of The Beatles' White Album sold for a record $ 710,000.

A mono-pressing of the LP went up for auction in Los Angeles on December 5, 2015 . The amount, announced Thursday by the Guinness record book, is the highest ever paid for a vinyl record.

The Beatles drummer had always kept his copy, catalog number 0000001, in a safe. The price shattered the previous record paid for an Elvis Presley record of $ 274,000.

Ringo's copy of the 1968 Beatles classic was sold at a three-day auction of items owned by the drummers wife, Barbara Bach. The proceeds will go to his charity, the Lotus Foundation. The buyer's name has not been disclosed.
