The Five Sharps – Stormy Weather (1952)
We now present you with the rarest record on our list, so far, with The Five Sharps’ 1952 release of 1952. At the time of its release, Stormy Weather was so poorly received by the public that The Five Sharps’ members were forced to begin buying them back! Ironically, this hilariously tragic release would become so infamous that it would become an extremely valued novelty in modern times. The band members seemed to have purchased all but three copies, each of which will sell for $20,000 today.

The Velvet Underground – The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)
Punk rockers eat your hearts out! The Velvet Underground is one of the godfathers of the wild genre, and although they would be considered mild by today’s raunchy standards, they caused quite the scene in the 60s. Bureaucrats did their best to erase this record off the face of the Earth, but the band still enjoyed 30,000 sales. When a Canadian collector spotted a copy in a flea market stall, he bought it off the oblivious peddler for less than a dollar. He then sold The Velvet Underground & Nico for $25,200!
