The Most Valuable Collectible LPs

Posted by: Alan Cross | Jun 23 2009 6:00AM

Collecting vinyl has never been hotter than it is right now. And with more people getting into rare vinyl, the higher the prices keep going. The most valuable records are still mainly from the 60s and 70s, but it won’t be long before vinyl from the 80s and 90s starts exploding in value. The best time to start with those records is right now. Promo releases–stuff that was released to the industry but never sold to the general public–is what you want.

For example, if you can find this collection of material from U2's movie, Rattle and Hum, you’ve got something pretty cool. It’s a single, CD, LP and cassette all stored in a special flight case. If you ever run across such an animal, it might be worth the investment. The current valuation is just over $2K Canadian.

Ongoing History of New Music Bio
   

Ongoing History of New Music LogoThe Ongoing History of New Music debuted in February 1993 on radio station 102.1 The Edge/Toronto. Since then it's...well, it's taken on a life of its own. Consider: More than 500 different one-hour episodes have been produced, making it the longest-running music documentary in Canada and one of the longest in North America. More than 5,000 one-minute daily features have been written and produced. The program is syndicated on virtually every major rock station in Canada. The Ongoing History of New Music show has spun off four books (all written by Alan Cross), which have worldwide sales of over 30,000 copies, not to mention almost 20 different compilation CDs (including four official Ongoing History discs).
