‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’ Banana Sticker Cover
In 2002, Canadian record collector Warren Hill paid a mere 75 cents for this vinyl at a flea market. Hill had no idea as to what he just found. The record is the Velvet Underground’s first album, but this copy is highly valued due to its rare banana peel cover by artist Andy Warhol.

This rare vinyl includes early versions of songs that are different from the standard album. It’s so rare that the only other copy that exists is in the hands of the band’s drummer, Moe Tucker. Warren Hill auctioned the record off on eBay for $25,200.
‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ Special Tracks From 1963
Just before Bob Dylan released his second album in 1963, he changed some of the tracks. Dylan replaced four songs with newly recorded tracks. Later, the record went back to its regular version. And only a handful of the vinyl with these four misplaced tracks was sold.

One copy sold for $35,000. To know if your copy is original, you need to look for matrix numbers ending in 1A on both sides. It has to have the songs ‘Rocks and Gravel,’ ‘Let Me Die in My Footsteps,’ ‘Gamblin’ Willie’s Dead Man’s Hand,’ and ‘Talkin’ John Birch Blues.’
