Nirvana — Love Buzz/Big Cheese (1988)
Although it’s easy to stream Nirvana’s music on your favorite DSP of choice these days, there’s something special about listening to their old school records on the format it was originally released on. ‘Love Buzz/Big Cheese’ might not be as mainstream as the rest of their albums, but it is one of those projects that diehard fans like to reference on online message boards all the day. There aren’t many original copies in circulation, but recently, one of them fetched a hefty $3000.
World’s Experience Orchestra — The Beginning Of A New Birth (1975)
World’s Experience Orchestra hit their peak when they released ‘The Beginning of a New Birth’ back in the mid-seventies. The album is extremely lengthy by all stretches of the imagination, even including a 22 minute piece of music that is revered by fans. Although attention spans are far shorter these days, with average songs lasting between 2:30 and 3:00, this hasn’t affected the market value of an original copy. These days, it might fetch anywhere from $3500 to $4000 at auction.
