The White Stripes — Lafayette Blues (1998)
It’s not often that someone on the list is still relevant to this day, but The White Stripes have continued to be big sellers, especially in the vinyl game, even as recently as with ‘Lazaretto’ in 2014. In 1998, Dave Buick painted over fifteen versions for the cover of “Lafayette Blues”, the latest single from the Stripes at the time. It was meant to be a marketing ploy for their album release, and clearly, it worked. If you forget out five bucks for one of the vinyls at the time, it is now worth nearly $13 000.
Stonewall — Stonewall (1976)
Psychedelic rock fans will be all too familiar with Stonewall, an iconic seventies band that stayed independent all throughout their careers. Members of the band were so serious about not signing with a major record company, that they wouldn’t even show up to meetings, or answer the calls of executives! Today, their name is synonymous with the gay rights uprising in 1969, and if you have a copy of their self-titled vinyl, it could earn you a clean $15 000.
