Tommy Johnson, Alcohol And Jake Blues (1930)
Talk about a true diamond in the world of music! In North Carolina, this record was discovered by pure accident. The seller then added it for sale on eBay and was shocked by the reaction. There are 2 known copies in existence, and they both belong to the winning bidder, John Tefteller. He paid $37,000 for it!
Prince, The Black Album
Not long after Prince released ‘The Funk Bible,’ he decided to stop it and paid the record label to retrieve all the records. Apparently, he got the sense that the record was ‘evil.’ However, it did not work since every song got pirated and even aired on the radio. In the end, Prince had another change of heart and released it on CD in 1994. In 2018, an original and unopened American pressing fetched $42,300. Meanwhile, an unsealed Canadian copy went for $27,500.
