Hank Mobley — Blue Notes 1568 (1957)
Hank Mobley might not be the biggest household name in jazz, but for one of his releases, a fatal mistake by the record label would make his vinyl one of the most sought-after collectibles in the world. ‘Blue Notes 1568’ was issued with a few copies that didn’t have any labels. Collectors with a copy of the elusive original are likely to fetch upwards of $11 000 at the auction these days. We’re sure Hank would find all of this very funny indeed.

Robert Johnson — Me And The Devil Blues (1938)
Dubbed the godfather of blues, Robert Johnson enjoyed an illustrious career in the early 20th century, and had fans in the legions. Although referencing the devil had happened before he did it, on this particular record, people seemed to take notice. Many criticized him for going against the spoken word. Nevertheless, this timeless vinyl is so valuable, that we can’t even give you an estimate as to how much you may fetch for it in the 2020’s.
