King Crimson -In the Court of the Crimson King (1969)
The debut studio album of the English rock band King Crimson was released in October 1969. The album is among the most influential albums of the progressive rock genre, combining rock, jazz, and classical music.
The album ranked 5th on the UK Albums Chart and hit #28 on the US Billboard 200 that year. The album was reissued and remastered four times throughout the years. And in 2009 for the album’s 40th anniversary, it was released with a new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes. The first edition vinyl album is worth nearly $1000 and surely can make a nice profit for the owner who’s ready to pass it on.

XTC — Science Friction (1977)
Never has there been a cooler album title than ‘Science Friction’ from XTC, which was released back in 1977. The band might have been little known across the pond in the United States, but in England they were massively popular, with their vinyls selling by the thousands. This particular record was shrunk to nearly half the size of an original vinyl, which has made it a lucrative collectible worth over $2000 in today’s terms. On top of that, only fifty copies were ever released to the public.
