Vinyl gold: What are the world's ten most valuable records?
Avid record collectors will happily pay through the nose for the right piece of rare vinyl. But how much is their upper limit and what would they be buying?
Rare Record Price Guide has a list of the ten most valuable vinyl records commercially available. That's stuff you could have bought in Woolworths (remember them?) back in the day.
The big surprise? The top ten most valuable vinyl records are dominated by just two major groups!
10. £6,000 - Please Please Me by The Beatles: a rare version of the record credits the Dick James Music Company rather than Northern Songs.
9. £7,000 - Anarchy in the UK/No Fun by The Sex Pistols: Promotional acetate and only three are known to exist.
8. £7,500 - God Save the Queen/No Feelings by The Sex Pistols: Briefly made available as the band broke up.
7. £8,000 - The White Album by The Beatles: First pressing of the iconic album.
6. £8,000 - God Save the Queen/No Feelings by the Sex Pistols: Same as above, but including the promotional press release.
5. £10,000 - God Save the Queen/No Feelings by the Sex Pistols: This version released by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McClaren.
