Record collecting is a weird science. Our monthly Top 30 is strong evidence of that. Let’s jump directly into the details. Some months we see that the most expensive item is by a non-famous artist or band, and some others you will see one of the best selling bands of all time crowning the list. While […]
Our analysis of December’s most expensive items sold on Discogs was a bit odd, you know, just because of that real human skull thing. Now it’s time to go back to more common formats (we seriously don’t encourage musicians out there to publish their music in any sort of human remains). Vinyl is king this […]
For our most active Discogs users, it’s no secret that there’s a never-ending debate about formats within the community. While vinyl seems to be the favorite, other formats are also popular. This month, however, you’ll find the number 1 spot on our most expensive items of December ’17 is taken by a slightly less popular […]
Remember when we almost hit a new record last month? Well, IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN! A 7” single by Sex Pistols sold for a staggering $14,690 in November 2017. This price tag was only $67 below the record-breaking single published by Lennon and McArtney (sic). Not bad at all, and it seems like after all: Punk’s not dead […]
This month, we come painfully close to record-breaking territory in list of most expensive records sold on Discogs. Coming up $243 just short on the $15000 sale of a 1987 promo copy of Prince’s ‘The Black Album’, The Beatles fetched $14757 for a 7″ UK Parlophone demo version of their first release, ‘Love Me Do’. […]
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again; the real winner of the top 30 most expensive records sold on Discogs is Banksy. Scrolling through September’s top 30, you’ll see his work on the covers of 4 of the 30 records. That’s a lot by anyone’s standards, let alone an artist whose trade is […]
Top 30 favorite, Röyksopp‘s ‘Melody A.M.‘ makes a bid for the top spot with a sale of $4621, but it doesn’t even make #2. It’s beaten out by hardcore punk outfit, Negative Approach, with their eponymous 1982 release grabbing $5000. The top spot in August’s most expensive releases is wrangled by a release that goes […]
Some familiar faces, new entries, and a whole lotta 7″ singles march their way into the top 30 most expensive items sold list for the month of July. A scarce Australian punk 7″ from Young Identities takes the top spot this time around, selling for $1800. Perhaps even more hard to come by is the […]
