I heard this morning on the radio in an interview with someone from "moneymusic.com", info on valuable records. Today they discussed The Rolling Stones. The most expensive listed is $18,000 for cover of Street Fighting Man. I have most of my old music in Michigan (shared with my sister) and I know I had Street Fighting Man, because it's the flip side of Honky Tonk Woman. I e-mailed my sister to see IF there is still the cover for it. It has to be the cover with a picture of a riot. Also, I have Beggar's Banquet original LP (which I have to dig out of storage) and will check for the graffiti picture. Anyway, I probably don't have the right ones, but it's fun to check out. I haven't checked the site itself yet, but will go thru it soon.

. Notice at the top the album is in "stereophonic" LOL I DO remember always checking to make sure I would get stereo as opposed to Hi-Fidelity.  Me and you are just kids, Tis. Hi-Fidelity is more Turnbull's era  .

I may have mentioned this once before, but I was at a party within the last year where the host, knowing that I like the Beatles, showed me a 'Let It Be' LP, autographed by all four Beatles. He said he actually staked out and waited for Lennon near his NYC apartment, and got him to sign only a month or two before he was killed. He also had a photo of himself with Lennon, who was holding the album. Yoko Ono took the picture.
He actually was invited into George Harrison's estate to get the final autograph in the 90s.
Being an attorney, you may (or not) find interesting that my father was a court clerk for the Southern District of NY and his judge (Judge Richard Owen) was the judge who had Lennon's extradition case back in early 70's (73 maybe). He was to determine if Lennon would be extradited back to England or allowed to stay, and of course he ruled in favor of Lennon. I was a baby and that's how I ended up with an autograph of Lennon made out to me.

Kly, I do remember you telling that story. What a great story about your friend. I guess it pays to stake out a celeb's residence.  Seriously, what a thrill. Pretty cool too how you got Lennon's autograph Carmela!  Ever check to see it's value today? I could have sworn I had the Begger's Banquet Album here but I couldn't find it. I bought the CD a few years ago and I just can't believe I got rid of the album.  It probably wasn't the valuable one anyway. TIS

The album that the scumbag Mark Chapman got signed by Lennon on the day of his murder is worth an estimated $525,000. "Double Fantasy" John Lennon released the album "Double Fantasy" in 1980. It was an album he created with his wife Yoko Ono contributing half of the songs. He signed a copy of the record for a young man named Mark David Chapman. Five hours later, Chapman assassinated John Lennon. According to Music Stack, this copy of "Double Fantasy" is worth an estimated $525,000.

DeNiro, It doesn't seem right that that particular album should be worth so much because we don't think scumbag Chapman's name should be attached to that value, does it? TIS

FS, You really never know. There are some instances where it's even more valuable if it's still sealed. That always amazed me cause whenever I purchased an album, I'd play it.  Plus, understandably, if in good condition they are worth more. TIS

Pretty cool too how you got Lennon's autograph Carmela!  Ever check to see it's value today? TIS I did. And I sold it for $1200 on ebay. It had his famous caricature on it and everything, but as I was told, since my dad had it signed to ME, it lowered the value significantly. My parents have a ton of these old records, but like you mentioned, they are worth much much more if in the original seal. But like you also said...the records were purchased to PLAY. lol

I have a bunch of vinyl in the garage -- most of it mine. And most of it mainstream (for the time), but also some limited edition EP's and stuff I should look into.
Was into Psychedelic Furs in the early '80s (and still am today), and when we went to Italy in '85, I found a "500 copies" limited live album in an underground mall in Florence. I snatched it immediately (along with a similar REM album). Would be interested in knowing if they're worth anything.
And Rush, sheesh, my favorite band in high school... I have a few vinyl EPs from them as well. Not to mention a few raw cassette tape live recordings.
I need to get a USB turntable...!
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

All you old fogies!! lol (j/k)
I was a member of the R.E.M. fan club in the early '80s and they used to send me shit all the time, for free -- including an 8x10 of the original band, autographed by each. And other oddball odds and ends (besides the regular newsletters). I must find that stuff!
As for vinyl, I still have everything I ever had, plus everything I acquired from my brothers (one older, one younger). That's a lot of vinyl sitting in my garage. NOT including a few boxes of all my mom's old 78's and 33's (Harry Belafonte, etc). I really need to go thru all that stuff and see if anything's worth anything.
But I know I do have quite a few rare vinyl EPs and live albums, mostly from my generation. I need to get a USB turntable!

Geoff, Go thru them. You might be sitting on a small fortune. EPs might be worth something and if they are in good shape maybe more. TIS
