These Rare Vinyls Are Selling For Thousands These Days

The Velvet Underground — The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

Punk rock is never dead, especially if you have a copy of The Velvet Underground’s ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’ in your vinyl collection. The hit album from 1967 might not be particularly controversial relative to some of the new releases these days, but back in the day the album really got tongues wagging. The government was not happy with its message, and some politicians campaigned to have it taken off the shelves. Recently, an original copy fetched an astronomical $25 000 after it was scooped up at a flea market sale of all places.
