The Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)
The first pressing of the debut record in mono goes for $2,799 on Discogs. This record had a huge influence on the punk rock scene of the ‘70s. It was banned by radio stations and sold poorly. Brian Eno did not mind and said, “Everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band.” A Canadian collector found a copy with no Warhol artwork, bought it for 75 cents, and sold it for $25,200! Whoa.

Frank Wilson, Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)
Frank Wilson recorded “Sweeter As The Days Go By” and “Do I Love You” but Berry Gordy told him he was a good fit behind the scenes. He wrote songs for the Supremes and Temptations! Gordy destroyed the pressing with the exception of two copies. Simon Soussan discovered it in the Motown vault, bootlegged it, and released it under Eddie Foster. The original records went for $34,000 in 2009.
