The Beatles — Please Please Me (1963)
It’s impossible to listen to ‘Please Please Me’ without getting some of its terrific songs stuck in your head. Released in 1963, the album solidified The Beatles as a powerhouse group that was showing no signs of slowing down. Their fame and popularity kept growing from this album, which was actually recorded and finished on a single day. A mono copy of this vinyl can fetch between $4000 and $5000 at auction today. Stereo? Now we’re talking double the value.
Depeche Mode — Music For The Masses (1987)
Depeche Mode’s ‘Music For The Masses’ gained mainstream appeal as a result of its cover, rather than the actual songs on the album. Although die-hard fans might disagree, the fact that the right edition of the vinyl is worth over $4500 might just say otherwise. The kicker? There was an incorrect version of the album distributed for a short period, much to the dismay of the band. If you have a copy of the version with the small error, a big payday awaits.
