top ten highest priced music records/albums ever. If you have one you are in

[msongs]

the money! Guess who dominates the list...

1. I've got a Butcher Cover, but not a sealed copy, but one I peeled myself. Nt

2. Awesome.

I still have an early Yesterday & Today with the replacement cover. I have an early White Album I bought in early '69 but I remember no serial number on the front. Not on his list, but I also have an Abbey Road I bought on Halloween, 1969 with my birthday money (I had just turned 14). That's when I first got high and started referring to myself as a "flower child", LOL. Those were the days...

8. Check the back cover of your Abbey Road album

The earliest printed covers did not list "Her Majesty" as they didn't decide to add that snippet until after the first couple of thousand covers had been printed. These were shipped out with "Her Majesty" on the label and the record, but not listed on the cover. Most of these went out as pre-release promotions to reviewers and radio stations, but some did end up in regular record stores.

Probably not worth hundreds of thousands, but it might be at least somewhat of extra value.

9. I'll have dig it out. I'm thinking it wasn't listed, but I can't trust my memory anymore.

10. You certainly bought it early enough for it to be one of the rogue ones.

My brother in law has a copy. He says he felt ripped off when he first saw (or rather didn't see) the missing title.

Best of luck!

3. Very cool!

BTW, I love your DU name.

4. I used to hit the record shows back in the '80s.

I seeked out rare album covers because most popular bands stamped out millions of a hit record. There were different cover though. The Alice Cooper "thumb cover" for Love It To Death for example.

I sought picture discs too with the album cover printed right on the vinyl. Meatloaf's was nice and Harrison's Cloud Nine. They came in a clear sleeve. Imports are big on my list too if they're printed in Japanese or something and have a different cover.

The bottom line is when someone thinks they have a valuable Elvis record because it's old they forget that he sold 30 million of them. Record collectors are a funny bunch too with downgrades for almost anything below mint and factory sealed.

Not too surprised by any on this guys list. He speaks of most valuable one of a kind records instead of what's in most people's collection. I'm getting old and I think it's time to sell mine because the kids will just dump them on a used record store counter and say: "How much will you give me?" Not the Alex Harveys!!

5. I haved a picture disk of Dark Side of the Moon.

I turned it into a clock.

[JohnnyRingo]

6. Nice clock I bet.

But that would be a really nice record too.
Don't do that anymore. haha

[Earthshine2]

7. It is better as a clock than a record. It's still usable for that purpose.

My experience with pic disks is that they didn't sound as good as regular vinyl.

Way back then, I would record all my records on high-quality cassette tape and listen that way.

Now, my computer is my juke box.
