ABBA – Hova’s Vittne (1981)
ABBA dominated the world of pop and disco music in the late 20th century. One of their lesser-known tracks, Hova’s Vittne, which means Hova’s Witness in English was pressed into the A-side of this record, with Tivedshambo featuring on the flipside. Hova’s Vittne was produced as a gift to Stig Anderson for his 50th birthday, the man who managed the leading band. Given that this record was a novel gift rather than a commercial production, there are very few of them in existence, which means that $3,500 is a fair price for a copy.
The Quarrymen – That’ll Be the Day (1981)
Those music boffins cultured enough to know The Quarrymen’s relationship with The Beatles will know why this record is so special. Their 1958 song That’ll Be the Day, borrowed from Buddy Holly, is one of their biggest hits. The Beatles enjoyed the song so much that they decided to bring it back into circulation, with Paul McCartney reforging it just 50 times on vinyl. It’s no surprise then that this record could easily fetch $3,500.
