Elton John – I’ve Been Loving You (1968)
Bernie Taupin is recognized as the man behind many of Elton’s hit songs, including I’ve Been Loving You, at least for a while. He was one of Elton’s biggest advocates and, long after the pop star’s debut single had made its mark, the two revealed that Elton had actually written the song himself. The Portugal release of this record with Elton’s flagship hit on is particularly rare. If you happen to encounter a collector who knows what they are doing, they would happily give you $5,000 for your copy.

Bruce Springsteen – Sprit in the Night (1973)
This Springsteen single is exceptionally difficult to find. While Spirit in the Night’s promotional version’s run went for hundreds of dollars apiece, today a copy is valued at around $5,000. So, if you remember seeing the sleeve below, you had best start hunting for it in your collection! Springsteen would not enjoy true fame until his third album Born to Ride was released, but the crowds still go crazy when Bruce sings this one at concerts.
