These Rare Vinyls Are Selling For Thousands These Days

Max Steiner — The Caine Mutiny (1954)

For this particular album, Max Steiner used text from a popular novel called “The Caine Mutiny” and read it out loud into the microphone. Today, we would call that an audio book. Back then, it was fairly groundbreaking, but not for the reasons you might think. It turns out author Herman Wouk didn’t know about the project, so production was halted right away. A few vinyls made it out of press, and former record execs might be able to bag around $7000 for a copy now.
