Misfits — Legacy of Brutality (1985)
Has there ever been a better band name than Misfits? I think many of us can relate. As it turns out, these guys only released sixteen copies of their ‘Legacy of Brutality’ album back in the mid-eighties. At the time, ex-lead singer Glen Danzig found out that the album was being released without his consent, so production was halted and all produced copies were destroyed. A long, nasty lawsuit ensued. If you were one of the lucky sixteen who got your hands on it in the midst of all the drama, you could potentially sell it for over $5000 in today’s value.
Elvis Presley — Speedway (1968)
Elvis fans will be very familiar with ‘Speedway’, mostly because his acting chops came under scrutiny in the film of the same name. Nevertheless, the soundtrack wooed fans, and they simply couldn’t get enough of anything he gave his voice to at that time. Word on the street is that less than 300 ‘Speedway’ vinyls were printed, and if you’ve somehow got it in your record collection, you could fetch up to $5000 during sale or auction.
