The Velvet Underground record that sold for $25,000+ was not The Velvet Underground and Nico, but an acetate of a demo session featuring some of the songs that were later recorded properly for the album. That copy was literally found in a garage sale, but you can buy it pretty easily now as the Scepter Sessions LP.

(one i owned & bought s/h for £2 or £3) ...thier first one on eBay because i saw it's bids stood at 250'ish G.B.£ with 12 days to go, at the auction's end, it had risen to 750'ish GB£ ...small change in comparison! The eBay ad' had many close-ups of it's matrix numbers & what looked like pin- scratched initials inbetween the run-out groove which i presumed must have been the reason for the high bids as it was no different to my own copy, a very early or 1'st pressing perhaps? or some error in the numbers? I don't know but these album's fetched prices are in a totally different ballpark. I now yearn to hear that one-off album by 'The Poon Tang Clan' (was it?) with the highest price ever got & the "no resale for 100 years" contract. Spotify? ..no chance!

I have a copy of the UK Export pressing of "Beatles VI" on the original Black and Yellow Parlophone label. The cover and the record are in beautiful condition, but there is one problem: It has the Side Two label on both sides of the record. The record plays normally; it does not play Side Two on both sides. It may be an oddity to some, but to me, that label error is an imperfection that devalues the album. What do you (and others) think?

Pink Floyd The Wall is in it's very first print. The first case sent out goes to Long Beach California. To a Tower records. Second case goes to London. Before a third case is shipped, they realize they messed up the inside cover. It did not have Pink Floyd and then the band members names. The called the two stores that got the misprints and told them not to open the case and send it back. And they do--sort of. The manager sold one of them to my mom who had been calling over and over for me. When he sold it to her, he said, "That will be worth a fortune someday." Taking it out to show it off for the first time today---Lord willing.

I was always playing my guitars and trying to interview bands at concerts. When I was in high school I had a two hour lunch jam session playing and telling everyone about the latest concerts that was a blast. I have books from the 60’s about Beatles fan club stuff. I wish I still had those 4’ tall Beatles bobble head figures we had them in the window of the Sam goodies. The manager was going to throw them away after a year and put in new stuff. So I took them home. After ten years I dumped them now I wish I was smart enough to hold on to them. I still have all my pro rack mounted stereo equipment missing all the cables though.

Great video, thank you so much! If anyone could answer this, I'd be very grateful. I recently found the Velvet Underground, Andy Warhole album in the attic. It's an original from 1966, and it's in top condition because my dad is very particular with keeping his vinyls in plastic and being very careful with them. It's in flawless condition. However, I'm wondering why the version he has is from 1966, when the album was released in 1967? I've read several places that this album is worth a lot (as you also mention in this video), but every version I've come across at online actions is from 1967, none from 1966. Does this mean that the album my dad has is even more rare? It's also numbered, it says it's number 50 out of 73. It has the cover with the banana painting, but it's not the peel-off sticker version. Any help would be much appreciated.
