Top 30 Most Expensive Items Sold In Discogs Marketplace For February 2020

Ah, February 2020 – how is it possible that we’re already feeling nostalgic for a month not that long gone? For many of us living in the Western world, it was a time when we were still free to prowl the streets at will, wander into our local record shops, and stand within a six foot radius of each other. How quickly times change.

Our priciest release for February is an album that was sold on Discogs for the first time. It’s said to be one of the rarest psychedelic progressive rock records on the market (one source puts the number in existence at five copies, others say two. Discogs Collection s tats put it at at least 11), and is hotly coveted by collectors and fans of the genre. The story behind it seems interesting, if esoteric, with the release notes stating: “The album was made solely to raise money for a charitable cause and a limited number were pressed. All the musicians gave their time and effort for free.”

What that limited number amounted to, what the charitable cause was, and who the musicians involved were is still a mystery to me after a bit of digging around. If you know more about this release, please let us know so we can flesh out the info on Discogs a little more! And if you’re one of the 273 people with this in your Wantlist, good luck to you.

Discogs sellers made just under $55,000 in February from these 30 records. Check out which releases have got music lovers reaching for their wallets.
