Boards Of Canada – ‘—— / —— / —— / XXXXXX / —— / ——’
On Record Store Day, back in 2013, the two Boards Of Canada members snuck into a few record stores and put this single-sided 12-inch into the racks. Only six copies have been pressed, and only four of those have ever surfaced, meaning that somewhere awaiting discovery, there are two at large. It’s worth $1500 nowadays.
George Michael – ‘Older’
The passing of an artist can raise the prices of already rare records when it comes to collectability. The third solo LP, Older by George Michael, sold millions of copies on CD, but there was only a tiny run on vinyl for the whole European market. Copies have changed hands for up to £ 800, and in your own collection, this really is an LP you could stumble upon-people just don’t realize how rare it is.
