The Beatles — The Beatles (The White Album) (1968)
When The Beatles were edging closer to having ten studio albums in the market, they were so well known around the world that it was impossible for them to go anywhere without being recognized. And we mean anywhere. The original master of their self-titled album from 1968 (with a very specific serial number) was kept by Ring Starr in a bank vault for years. Three and a half decades on, it sold at a charity auction for over $750 000.
Steel City Connection — Dansation/Steel City Disco (1978)
Although it was only worth a couple of dollars back in the seventies, these days, an original copy of Steel City Connection’s double album could earn you a pretty penny. Their most commercially successful album, a string of hits came from this project, which really put the group on the map. Although collectors are eager to get their hands on this one, it’s very rare, and hasn’t been seen on an online auction for quite some time.
