These Rare Vinyls Are Selling For Thousands These Days

The Five Sharps — Stormy Weather (1952)

In 1952, The Five Sharps released ‘Stormy Weather’, an album that people hated so much, the band themselves had to start buying them back from consumers. As you can imagine, this put their career into sharp decline, but interestingly enough, made them a cultural reference point that they couldn’t have foreseen at the time. These days, the album has the same novelty value as the YouTube video for Rebecca Black’s “Friday”. One key difference is that ‘Stormy Weather’ is worth well over $20 000 if you have it in your possession these days!
