Most Expensive Items Sold on Discogs in February 2021

Discogs is back with another monthly breakdown of the most expensive vinyl, cassettes, and CDs sold in the Discogs Marketplace. If you’re a regular reader of these rankings, you’ll usually see acts like David Bowie, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd.

What’s less usual are modern artists, which popped up several times in our list of the most expensive sales in January 2021. Below, you’ll find a 2013 compilation from The Weeknd, a 2002 Japanese pressing of Daft Punk’s Discovery, a coveted 1992 release from Guided by Voices, and three recent box sets (granted, of classic artists like Bob Dylan and composer Maurice Ravel).

Another big name that caught our attention in the January edition stands out again. Why? It’s another brand-new release. Paul McCartney dropped McCartney III in 2020 and a 180-gram color vinyl version has already made its way to our monthly most-expensive roundup. It’s an extremely limited variation pressing at Third Man — only 333 were made, and each is hand-numbered. It went for just over $3,000 in January and $3,700 in February.

Topping us out at No. 1 is a rare jazz album from Sounds of Liberation, a collective from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Only 300 copies were pressed and, according to the Database, only a lucky 24 Discogs users have one.

For the March list, we won’t be surprised to see more Daft Punk releases. Following the announcement of their breakup in late February, we saw a spike in sales and price tags in the Marketplace.
