- I've been going through my record collection and tracking albums in Discogs. I was surprised at the value of some records that have come out in the past 10 years, or been reissued in the past 10 years. Check it out!

Price doesn’t matter to me,as long as I pay a reasonable price initially that’s all I care about. I just enjoy listening to them.
I agree with u man on that!
Amen
Yes you are so right, MUSIC is made to be played and enjoyed.
This is why I buy doubles with new albums I want to listen to regularly. That way I have a potentially valuable copy to maybe sell one day without having to lose anything. Sometimes I have to stop myself and let a 2nd copy go because that can get expensive.
I love A Different Kind Of Truth.
Really underrated record
The one album that surprises me with how much it has increased already is the 2019 record store day copy of the crow soundtrack , it’s selling on average for 224 dollars while it sold for 50
The 🇬🇧 Pop of the 90's is insane on Vinyl with Blur , The Verve , Suede , Oasis all fetching huge sums for original pressings.
Apparently, my copy of the Violent Femmes’ self-titled album is now worth like $65. I have the Rhino/Slash 180g reissue. That surprised me, because two years ago, I would see it for under $20 at every record store I would frequent.
JadenK YES!
That STP album is terrific and that yellow vinyl is a legit collector's item. Great, great album.
I also have a few valuable records from the past 10 years (first pressing) that go for over 80 bucks... while I have bought them at 10 to 20 bucks, just ridiculous!
I think it has to do with speculation, some people just buy records because they'll be worth a lot in the near future.
That’s a cool Dio collection. Never seen that. I have Motörhead Box Of Magic that has seemed to jump up in price as well. Thanks for sharing, Frank.
Hey Frank! Great video. One of my albums that increased the most is Rush's 2112 album. It's sell for more than $200...... and I believe it went for around $600 at one time. Discogs has recently changed their layout and I can't only see the selling from prices. Most of my albums I bought waaaaaaay back in the 70s and 80s and on average are now worth $25 to $80. Some are not but a lot are.
Keep up the good work!
If you don’t love it, I suggest selling, and using your profits to get something you do!
Very interesting video my friend. I'm going to have to go through my discogs and see if I have any gems.. thanks for sharing this video and taking the time to make it for us
Thanks for watching!
I even have a hard time paying $20.oo + ...for a record...I've found the most amazing jazz and Latin jazz albums in $5 and $3 Crates ...Crawling down through crates at 46...Priceless!
With a lot of collector's for vinyl it's also the art work on the album that people love because they can be framed you should sell the ones you don't want and get the money to buy the ones you do. I am loving your show bringing back a lot of memories thanks Frank love from the UK.❤️
Original Rush Album, cica 1974 put out by moon records “Median: CA$1,253.00” , my most valuable.
RUSH has only ever had a vertical trajectory (and thier prices keep going up too!)
The double album "Hot Sauce Committee" with bonus 7-inch from the Beastie Boys cost me $20 USD in 2012. It's now worth about $60. Great package and great final album from them. "Just Like the Fambly Cat" from Grandaddy also cost at most $20 in 2007, now worth about $100. "New Wave" from Against Me cost less than $20 in 2007; now worth about $100. I have most of the original Nirvana releases from the 90s. Those are my most valuable, and I bought them new when they came out.
Well Frank, like you I believe the true hobbyist wins out by collecting for the love of it rather than seeing it purely as an investment. With that said, I've never been really motivated to researched the 600 or so albums and 30 box sets I've collected over the years. Interesting to note from today's show that A Different Kind of Truth by Van Halen, and as you pointed out in a previous show Van Halen's Balance are worth some bucks. Glad to say I got a copy of each. Thanks for the tip !
James Chant so so so agree, sugar.
Hi there Frank, found out about a few great bands thru you. Keep up the god work!
Hey, thanks!
I have never looked on discogs and never will. Don't follow trends or hype, I only purchase records that I like and when I die they will be going to my record loving son. Then he can do whatever he wants with them. Great vid man 👍👍👍
it's not all about trends its a market place many albums that are older that I love I can only find on an online market place
Great video Frank. I have a couple albums like that where I bought them when they came out and now they are insane. Maybe I will jump on this thread and show mine. Keep rockin'!
It was a fun one. You should definitely do it!
I have a album from the 1950's from a guy called Esquerita that I bought a part of a collection at a estate sale there was about 35 albums in it and I paid 25 for the lot and the forementioned album in the condition that it is on discog is listed at roughly 400 dollars U.S.
I love the Albums you talk about here. You have a natural ability for this, which makes it more enjoyable. I also collect the odd piece of Vinyl.I've been buying vinyl for well over 40 years
In all those years, it's been the last 10 years where I'm having a problem with re-issues. 2 or 3 years ago and after waiting over 30 years for this The "Sandinista" album by the Clash was finally re-issued. Even when it was originally issued it was hard to find. It really made the record company mad. Because after releasing London Calling they didn't like the fact that it was a double album (higher shipping cost). So what did the hardest working band do: Sandinista. Triple album.
I own a "best of" box set of cd's of the Clash and soon realized that the majority of songs come from the Sandinista album. When I played my brand new re issue I thought something was seriously wrong with my system. But no it was the brand new vinyl. Same with my brand new Radiohead re-issue. Same with my st Germaine album. In the 20th century this wasn't even a subject. There was no such thing as a bad album, except by musical taste.
The second problem with re-issues is the source.
175,000 master tapes were destroyed in a fire back in 2008 of some of the best selling artists. Which means there's a good chance your re-issue has a digital source like mp3. Some are saying this was going to drive up the price of used Vinyl because all of it has a master tape source.
Happy vinyl hunting!
That is crazy! Im gonna have to look up some of my vinyl reissues on Discogs lol
Frank, any records that I’ve had any doubt at all about selling and did, I ended up regretting.
This is a really exceptional video. I could listen to you talk about these for hours.
I've been collecting records for decades and what I noticed is my Beatles albums seems to be a safe bet if your only look at an investment. Ebay had a big impact on record prices. Elvis records took a big hit. A guy at my local flea market has nice records for sale but he prices them on a old price guide. Records I've seen years ago that went for hundreds of dollars are now worth far less. There are many albums from record store day that was not available at my local store are a fortune on line.
Another great show Frank! I am kicking myself for passing on the sonic Boom vinyl too.
You and me both!
I would love to have Katie Melua's first two albums on vinyl, but with each going for over £150 on Discogs, that remains a dream. Same with Imelda May - Love Tattoo will cost £33, while Mayhem goes for £59 minimum. Makes me want to weep!
I hate when I wait to buy an album and then I look it up to buy it and its over $100 already! Makes me wonder why, when there is so much demand for an album, don't they press up more and cash in on it??
Hi Frank,
Fun to see you on Sunday night as well. Interesting video. Yes, I have noticed as well that some of the things I own have spiked in price. Incredible. Yes, I agree as tempting as it may seem
to sell them.... you would miss it if you do and those that you did not snap up when you could you regret for not doing so. So, the motto is to be happy to have the ones we have.. and if
the opportunity arises for some other grails.... on an Amazon warehouse deal... go for it. For we know as collectors and music aficionados we always want what we do not have...
unfortunately this is life.
God bless and keep up the great work.
Keep well,
Tino
Tino... good philosophy!
That Decade of Dio you need to keep that I looked today and it is going for $699 US dollars I wish I would have grabbed that one
WOW!!!! It's getting crazy ...
I discovered your you tube channel in March while on lock down and have had a blast catching up on all you posts. I had never heard of Discog until you mentioned it on one of your posts, so imagine my surprise when I looked up Tom Petty's Wildflowers and found out that, as of today, the median listed price is $450 US. I bought my copy in 1994 and later someone gave me their copy.
Welcome aboard! Crazy how valuable the Petty album is now!
That Dio Box is awesome Frank! really happy that you have it. I have started uploading vinyl rips of my collection to my channel btw, i am uploading them quite frequently now. Took me a couple years to really start it.
The ones that gets me from the last 10 years are probably the Beatles in Mono releases (I only got 3 or 4) and the copy of Die Antwoord’s “Ten$ion” that I bought new in 2012 for like $25 and gifted to my then girlfriend. Didn’t get that one back in the breakup a year or two later. If I still had it, it would be one of the more valuable records in my collection, worth several hundred dollars. Sucks to know it is probably sitting dusty on a shelf somewhere or being spun on a Crosley.
mono records can be tracked up to 8g stereo 6g I don't think a Crosley will tear up mono beatles
I’m so glad that you did this video. It goes hand in hand with my question about records as investments (sealed or opened). Thanks Frank! Keep on rockin’ in the free world! 🤘
Glad it was helpful!
I've had Mother Love Bone on vinyl since it's original release. I was shocked when I saw what it was selling for on eBay, Discogs etc. I'm keeping this but I love it regardless.
I bought the first Stooges album from a cut-out bin at K Mart for 33 cents in the late 1970's. Collectors will now pay as much as $111 for it! That's a 333% increase in the price I paid for it!
Frank, I very much admire you for not being one of those collectors who buy purely with the goal of reselling for a profit. With you it's strictly about the music, and that's the only way anyone should buy records, books, art, or anything. Those who buy to cash in are money-grubbing so-and-so's.
Your opening jingle makes me wish Channel 33 RPM is a store. A store that I would spend lots of money at.
Thanks! And you can! channel33rpm.bigcartel.com
I have a sealed Down Nola album, i saw mint $285 bucks.. i really like it, just haven't spun it yet
Elvis Costello's "Painted From Memory" (cd only, Sept 1998) was reissued on vinyl for the 1st time on Mobile Fidelity in May 2017 and now sells regularly for $130-200, and is priced at $250 on up regularly on eBay.
Tom Petty Wildflowers...the price on Discogs is mindblowing! $200, $450 and 760.99!
I've not bought very much new vinyl for quite awhile, but I did get the Thin Lizzy, "Still Dangerous", limited, a few years back, brand new for $25- $30. Never opened it, got the CD to listen to.. Discogs has it listed around $150 - U.S. ..pretty cool.
It's amazing how the value of some records change over time... my biggest regret was not buying the Cake boxset when I had the chance. And I also had the Dio boxset in my cart to buy when it was on sale and the decided not to. Ah well hindsight is always 20/20. I think the record that has the most increase in value that I have would be Soundgarden's Superunknown blue vinyl release which has an average price on discogs for 200.
I heard a lot about the Cake boxset when it came out (RSD, right???). If I recall, there was a lot of demand for it, so I am not surprised the value has gone up.
Stay well my friend!
Frank
The Cake box set was originally an RSD release in 2014, with only 900 copies being made. I wanted the box but knew with so few copies, if the store I was going to for RSD even got a copy, the first person in line would undoubtedly snag it. I’m a big Cake fan though, and got an email a few days after RSD from their mailing list saying they were going to be selling a small number of extra copies of the box set via their website. I was lucky enough to snag a copy from their website. I seem to recall the box set only cost about $75 or something like that, so a ridiculously good deal. So, it’s absolutely jaw-dropping to me that the median (MEDIAN!) price of that box is now at $800.
Good video again, Frank! The woes of opportunities missed, even if just for collection, can be harsh. I've been looking the wrong way on a number of purchases and am now left staring at visciously expensive Discog figures. I've always enjoyed vaporwave and I didn't put much thought into the vinyl side of it for the longest time, and now that I am collecting my favorites on vinyl, the prices can be absolutely absurd. Many vinyls that I've acquired I've been there at the moment of the sale opening, and they're sold out within minutes. Vinyls that go from $30 USD from the source leap to over $100 on discogs within a month. OOF!
When I was at the college bookstore in the mid-1960s, I saw a bin full of that Beatles "butcher shop" album, with the new cover image pasted over it (the old cover image showing through it). I thought, "Who would pay for that crap? and I passed.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh... You could have retired on those! If only we could go back in time.
Hello Frank ! I was also surprised when I punched in my collection on Discogs. 1 of my 80’s punkrock EP’s is valued around $800 !!!!! W. T. F. ??? Although I will never sell it because it’s my friends band and I still like it a lot.
Excellent! You buy music for the music, for the joy of it. Not to flip them and profit off them. That's the way it should be.
Hey frank! I’ve seen the latest VH release go for exuberant prices. I suppose once Record stores are itching to get it out of their hands, the pressings will run out and will start accumulating their value. Alice’s W2MN is one thats on my wantlist. Same with Along Came a Spider. I see boot/counterfeit pressing of the STP album pop up from time to time. I believe the Music in Vinyl pressing is the only officially available version but since it’s an import the prices sometimes aren’t justifiable. I would kill for an official pressing of Sonic Boom. There have been LOTS of counterfeit pressings on the market, sometimes with or without the gatefold and extras. I’ve settled for one of them for $25 as a basic placeholder until I could get a legit pressing or it gets properly reissues. All the best man!
I own Hotline Miami 1 & 2, which are some of the most highly coveted video game LPs out there. I think they both swing in between 300 - 500 for each game on discogs.
Thank you so much for the shout out! I loved this video. I missed out on A Different Kind Of Truth and had to pay out the nose for it. Lol. Oh well. We win some and lose some. Have a great week.
Thanks Melinda for the video idea! It was fun. Glad you were still able to get ADKOT.
Frank
I JUST FOUND THE FOLLOWING AND BOUGHT IT TODAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A THING. THIS IS A SOUNDTRACK I HAD BEEN HOPING WOULD BE PRESSED ON VINYL SINCE 2014, WHEN THIS GAME CAME OUT, AND IT IS:
'THE MUSIC OF DESTINY, VOLUME 1'.
I bought the Glacier White PS4 (which came with the game), AND THE SOUNDTRACK IS SPECTACULAR! One of the best Soundtracks ever written for a Video Game and listening to this is going to be a trip down memory lane, because of the great friends I made through this game and the experiences we had as a Fireteam! Anyway, there are a lot of caps in this comment because this discovery shook me LOL. This 6X LP Boxed Set was released in 2018, but I bought it for $600 on Ebay because it was sold out everywhere else. This is THE CROWN JEWEL of my collection so far!
My most valuable record is Coldplay’s debut album Parachutes which I bought at a Barnes and noble after work. It turns out it was a limited edition release on orange vinyl and is worth a median price of 130 dollars on discogs. I only paid 20 dollars for it at the time in 2016.
This is interesting, I have not really taken the time to check in discogs what the value of my records might be, I have a whole bunch of first pressings that I bought in the 70's it might be worth checking it out, not that I collect for the value but for the joy. Nice video Frank.
Great video, Frank. You’ve got some real gems there. I’m really kicking myself on that Van Halen album. I like it and I passed it up so many times when it was priced reasonably. I have a bootleg of Sonic Boom that sounds great. I wasn’t collecting vinyl when that first was released. Keep up the fine work you do on this channel.
Freddie Gibbs - Freddie. Ridiculous how I can’t find that for a reasonable price
Great vid Frank 🤘Dio box set is a grail.
It sure is! I'm glad I got it when I did.
Frank
I totally agree with you Frank! I buy albums to listen and enjoy, not as some kind of investment. I highly recommend you check out the latest studio album by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. "Infest The Rats' Nest" Possibly the best Thrash Metal album this century.
I’d never sell me copy of infest but it definitely is going to get a price rise in a couple years
I paid $2 for a blue triangle first uk press of Dark Side of the Moon. In fact, most of my records were 2 bux as have been collecting since the 1980s. Long before the trend of vinyl, when nobody wanted it.
Hey Frank, very cool that you "Dig" AudioSlave... personally, I found all of your selections to be "Groovy"! ...
I didn't even know about the DIO set, or I would have bought it for 100 bucks back then.
Bought a record by a band named Sabre a few months back. Album name is Keeper of the Sword. Never heard of them I just got it because it looked like it was my kind of music. You know 80s rock. Lol. I paid 6 whole dollars. The record is mint. Looks like it was never played. Turns out it was self released by some active duty guys stationed in Germany in 1985. Only 500 copies made. It lists for 339 bucks on Discogs. One of the band members wrote a nice story about the band on the Discogs site. By far my best score ever. And the music is really good as well.
Have a copy of A Day To Remember Common Courtesy cream colored Ltd edition i bought before I even had a record player. Listed on discogs 175-300
I HAD the Van Halen and Steel Panther albums. Sold them on Discogs about 3 years ago. Got $50 for VH and $25 for Steel Panther. I do have them on CD so it is not a big loss.
Frank, don’t sell that STP album, you’ll regret it...or sell it to me at a reasonable price.
I've definitely seen some of the more recent purchases go up madly in "value": the top album has to be the 2013 pressing of Marilyn Manson Antichrist Superstar that I picked up from Hot Topic (!) for $20. The album now sells for $350-$400 on Discogs. I did see a copy sell for $250 at a "local" record store but I am not sure of the condition of that record. Second would have to be the 2010 ORG pressing of Nevermind. I have kept it sealed and in that condition, it is going for $215 on Discogs.
No bigger regret for me than wishing that I had Neil Young's Le Noise on vinyl still... long story. It's not his best but the price on a short run has gone nuts. Great video & idea. I'm looking forward to digging into your channel.
I wish I had known about Audioslave back in 2005. I actually like their sound... And I also was so close to buying the Kiss - Sonic Boom LP in a brick and mortar store, but didn't think I'd like it. I should have listened to it online, because I would have bought it! :(
Here’s the tops from my collection:
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magick (2011 RSD Black Friday 20th Anniversary Edition on red vinyl). Paid $32 for it, and at the time that seemed like a crazy expensive price. That was in the fairly early days of RSD when not every record was $25+. That’s one of my favorite albums though, so I sucked it up and bought it. Median on Discogs now is $110.
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - I’m Beside You (RSD Black Friday 2013 release “limited” to 5000 copies): Again, I’m a big RHCP fan, so I bought this, but I remember not being happy that it was fairly expensive, and 5000 copies seemed like a hell of a lot so I was afraid it wasn’t even going to be worth what I paid for it. I remember at the time there was no shortage of copies of that, it was a b-sides comp for a Frusciante-less album that didn’t exactly blow up like their past albums had. Median price now? $103, so what the hell do I know?
3. City And Colour - Bring Me Your Love ( 2016 Limited Edition, Reissue, Clear w/ Orange, Pink, and Oxblood Splatter): Only 400 of these were made, I ordered two copies from the City And Colour website for $20 each. Ended up selling my spare copy for $40 to a friend of mine who’s a huge City And Colour fan. I was just happy that I got all my money back, so in essence I got my copy of the album free. Median price on it is now $99.
4. Tyler Childers - Purgatory: This was one of those special releases on pink vinyl that comes out each year for breast cancer awareness; this one came out in 2018. I bought it just because I really like Tyler Childers. I paid $18.98 for it and median now is $98. As valuable as this is, I have a regular pressing of the album signed by Tyler Childers so obviously that one means more to me.
5. Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday: This came out in 2010 on pink vinyl, and at the moment is the only pressing on vinyl. I got this one for $9.99 at Half Price Books earlier this year, and I bought it strictly to flip at some point. I have no idea why HPB had it priced at only $9.99, but the median price is $90 so I thank them for that. Not really a Nicki Minaj fan so I will have no problems whatsoever getting rid of this when I finally get around to selling it.
Honorable Mention: Not from the last 10 years, but my best return on investment ever. A few years ago I found a copy of The Wooden Glass Recorded Live by The Wooden Glass feat. Billy Wooten for $1 at Half Price Books. If you have no idea what that is you’re forgiven. It’s a private press jazz record put out by Billy Wooten, an Indianapolis-based jazz musician, in 1972. No idea how many copies were ever made, but I’m guessing under 1000. In 2001, Stones Throw Records put out a release called The Funky 16 Corners which compiled lots of rare and obscure funk/soul/jazz type stuff, and one of the tracks is from that Wooden Glass LP. That drove the demand for that album through the roof. Like I said, I found my copy for $1 at HPB through another massive pricing error on their part, but as rare as this album is, I don’t blame them for not knowing what it was and can’t imagine it was in their computers. A few months later I sold the record to somebody locally for $600. Could’ve gotten more if I sold on Discogs probably, but I wasn’t turning down $600 cash in hand. One of those dream scenarios I don’t ever expect to happen again!
Iron Maiden Final frontier picture disc. New was 28€ now it sell for 270-400€
I bought a new special edition EP of Princess Chelsea in 2011 for $15,-. I just sold it for almost $300,-.
Interesting video man. I used to work at HMV music store in England in the 90's. My boss asked me one day if I was buying any of the Oasis albums before they sold out. I laughed and reminded him they're crap and he informed me about how few had been pressed. I couldn't see it myself so I declined, he bought 10 sealed "definitely maybe" and 10 sealed "what's the story...". They were about 15 pounds each I think plus he was the store manager and if I remember it right he got 20 % staff discount. Have you seen the value of these albums now? I kick myself regularly for missing out. Oh and as a side note thanks for rehoming our Royal family Canada, we have some more whenever you're ready for them lol. They are very expensive and not really of any use whatsoever for any purpose on Earth but if you want more of 'em we got 'em.
Royals... we don't want them either, haha!
Hi Frank. Great video as always. I would totally to buy your RSD STP Core. That album has some very special meaning to me in high school and I would love to own it. Hit me up if you are interested in selling it. :-)
I picked up The Breeders Last Splash LSXX boxset for $100 Australian a few years ago. That's worth double or triple that now.
I recently paid stupid money for The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie boxset. Silly thing is for months I had seen it at a much cheaper price, but I ummed and ahhed about it too long.
I have one or two minor rarities, but don't purchase to re-sell. I was looking at the Kiss Red Vinyl Re-issues in the UK late 1977 on Discogs. My friend had Dressed to Kill on Red Vinyl. The single albums sell for about £80-£90 now. I also found out that Love Gun was issued the same year on Blue Vinyl. Have you heard of The Hollywood Stars. They recorded a rough album in 74 which was not released until 2013 on LP. It contained the original versions of King of the Night-time World (Kiss) and Escape (Alice Cooper). Both co-wrote by Kim Fowley. The connection Bob Ezrin. Both original songs and more are on TH-cam. Interesting and thanks Frank for helping me find this out.
I'd say the two most valuable records in my collection would be TSOL by Shad. Difficult to find even back then. Found it at Value Village for the standard LP price of $2 CAD. The second one would be Nickel Creek's debut album. Was only available on Record Store Day 2011. I also found it at Value Village for $2 CAD. I know CDs aren't considered here, but my most valuable CD is The Edge by Cindy Cruse. Funnily enough, I found it basically the day that Value Village changed the price of a CD from 3 to 2 bucks. It shocked me to find out how much it typically sold for too. Of course, I don't collect to re-sell, but it's always awesome finding a rare record for super cheap. :)
First time I noticed this was when I saw my copy of Sade's Lover's Rock (2010 MOV's reissue), which I bought sealed a couple of years ago for 20/25 usd (in Argentina, where imported records are really expensive!) going for usd 120 or more on Discogs. Another one is In Flame's Colony's 2014 reissue, I paid 19 euro for it in Spain in 2017, and now they're selling it for 70 euro. But everything is a matter of offer vs. demand so I guess it makes sense.
I had the Bowie Blackstar clear vinyl in my basket & forgot to order... Apparently my Hysteria orange vinyl & Metallica Hardwired green vinyl are worth $100 plus but whether I’d sell is doubtful! 😬
I bought the Van Halen ADKOT when it was first released. I didn't even know it was available on vinyl. I was on vacation in Daytona Beach, FL and there was a record store I saw on the main strip so I stopped in and they had the Van Halen for sale for I believe $25.00 brand new. I already had the CD but I just wanted it on vinyl so I bought it. Glad I did. Sonic Boom I bought for $60.00 off Discogs new about 8 years ago on yellow marble vinyl with gatefold and poster. I did not realize it was a counterfeit but even the counterfeits are still expensive. Another that I do have is the Gremlins soundtrack from Mondo (swirl vinyl color variant). Bought when it first came out for $35.00. Now its about $100 on Discogs. Oh, and the red marble reissue of Kiss Destroyer from Sound Of Vinyl. I almost bought two of those thinking the value would go up. I got it for $35 but today its going for over $100 on Discogs.
I remember when I first discovered Ramshackle Glory. I had to have their first album (from 2012) on vinyl but they were sold out everywhere & the cheapest ones on discogs were around $40 at the time. I found by accident one of the labels that helped release it & they had only one or two copies left. Bought one for $15 (shipping included). It averages $150-160 on discogs. Not the most expensive record, but the most expensive one in my collection.
great video...i've noticed with van morrison...some i have are now amazingly expensive...some i still want i cant afford...i think the fact that records are big again, people are just taking advantage, plain and simple...it's sad, but true...if you see it, buy it...or it may be too late...hope you are doing well...peace always my friend...rocky
"If you see it, buy it." Indeed. Wise words.
I have that Van Halen album and I probably paid $20-$25 for it, same with the STP record. I was shocked how much my Black Crowes Live Freak N Roll album is going for now, same with Coldplay Parachutes orange vinyl.
Excellent topic. 👍. Nice Dio box set
Thanks 👍
Super interesting, Frank. I've noticed some older CDs in my collection are up for resale on Amazon for well over 100 bucks sometimes. Is that an accurate indicator of value? I'm like you, though, in that I'm reluctant to part with them.
Hi Scott! Some of the Amazon re-sale prices are crazy, and I don't think an accurate indicator of value. A better indicator would be to research the title at Discogs.com or check recent sold (not asking) prices on eBay. Some CDs certainly are getting up there in value. Hope all is well. Happy belated Canada Day!

most album I have is Van Halen Balance could not beleive the price of what there asking for it now bought it when it was first released on vinyl need to go through some more of my albums
I have the same story with Sonic Boom! They had a package for all of the variants and I had it in my cart but couldn’t justify it, so I never bought any of them. I really regret that now!
Man, welcome to the club. If we could just go back...
I have 2 of those back home in Brazil. I hope I can bring my record someday.
I find anything pressed from around '93 - 2012 to fetch a pretty penny. The vinyl resurgence seemed to start happening around 2013 and then really took off by 2015. Frank, when you went to Sonic Boom in Toronto, did they still have Tom Petty's Wildflowers on the wall for $400?
Hmmmm... I do not recall seeing Wildflowers, but WOW!!!! That is crazy expensive.
Cheers,

I hung onto a Lynyrd Skynyrd ,still in the plastic, cassette that had the fire cover of Street Survivor. Only to find out it was a knock off with no value. At one time I collected a lot of stuff to sell and never got half the book price soooo.
The current album from Stryper in yellow vinyl is going for $115 on Discogs. A vinyl record of video game music (Mega Man: The Best of 1-10 in red multi-splatter vinyl) is going for nearly $150. I paid more for Blackstar by David Bowie than it is going for on Discogs (and if I waited, I could have picked it up in a store than spend nearly fifty dollars to have it shipped.)
Going back about newer releases going for more, I picked up the classic Stryper albums when I was first getting into vinyl, and I probably spent less than ten dollars. One of the albums was actually sealed. The newer albums go for much more due to the limited edition status.
I just checked that Stryper album (God Damn Evil). There's one copy of the yellow version on sale for a little over $600. You can get Soldiers Under Command on white vinyl for about $12
some limited pressings i find their worth can go up to 100 bucks or more on discogs before i even get them in the mail!
As a bloke who buys most of my LPS from charity shops I wouldn't pay anywhere near those prices for any album I wouldn't buy any of those if they were £1 each as they are not my kind of music but even in UK charity shops some vinyl are being put up at extortionate prices because vinyl is making a comeback these shops need to be more realistic with their prices I would never pay more than £3 for a second hand album to me these are rip off prices wherever they get their information about them from E.G. DISCOGS etc
The most valuable non-boxed set in my collection in a near mint state is "Say I am You" by folk duo The Weepies from RSD 2016. It is limited to 750 copies in orange vinyl and signed. I got it on release for about $15 US and it's median price is now $125 and max is $245. I am also surprised at the price of the mono Beatles releases, Sgt Pepper has a median of $115 and 4 others have medians of $75 or greater. The most valuable record sets, I have are the two Third Man Rise and Fall of Paramount Records collections, but they couldn't be called traditional box set, at an average of $250 each. My most valuable traditional box set is the Belle & Sebastian Jeepster singles collection that averages $145.
I’m in the really like Welcome 2 my nightmare camp...Happy Sunday Frank 🤘🏻
I dig that album too Matt. I hope all is well.

All the Van Halen album prices blew up after Eddie passed. At least a contributing factor to your record’s value
For sure... have you seen the price of Balance lately? Crazy!!!
Hey Frank, great video, as you may or may not be aware with respects to Steel Panther, Russ Parrish a.k.a. Satchel also was a member of Fight. I think calling Steel Panther a 'joke band" is a little harsh. Keep up the great videos.
Yes, Russ was great in Fight. Steel Panther are great musicians. I do view them as essentially a comedy act (perhaps joke band was not a good description). They do have some good songs (Death to all but Metal being my fav). I do think the joke is getting a bit tired though. Could be just me?
Cheers

What about that Spit Enz album with the hologram, i think it was True Colours.
Aussie band 'The Chats' album 'Get This In Ya' fetches about $200+ AUD for the first pressings.
I love limited edition vinyl. Been collecting it for over 20 years now. It's a great investment value wise. There will always be us vinyl fanatics out there. We aren't going anywhere....and I feel that we will be growing over the next couple decades! JOIN THE VINYL HORDE! :)
I am a complest as well, however sometimes I pick eras and avoid the rest. I love Ozzy but only have first release though Wicked. Don't need anything else for me, CD is fine.
Wow I got Balls Out by Steel Panther a few months back for like $30 used...wild
That one really surprised me.
The only thing I know I have that’s gone way up in price is the Metallica acoustic live album, Helping Hands. It’s on blue marble wax. I saw that it was going up in price, and I knew my local record store had it, so I grabbed while I could, for about $20. It goes for about $150 / $200 now.
Man I’d kill to have the STP album on vinyl. You’re lucky you got it for the price you did
