Cherry Five – Cherry Five (1975)
You might not have realized it if you are a fan of old-school horror films, but the band Cherry Five’s music was used in many classic creature-features like Dawn of the Dead, Deep Red, and Suspiria. This was certainly a highly profitable working relationship with the masters of Hollywood horror, but their most valued work must be their initial one. Of course, this record is very difficult to locate, and Cherry Five’s self-titled album could easily sell for $3,500.
David Bowie, Diamond Dogs (1974)
We now return to Ziggy Stardust himself with one of the more disturbing album covers in history. Bowie loved to spice things up with his surreal persona, and in 1974 he gave the thumbs-up to whoever painted the Diamond Dogs cover. Hilariously, the Diamond Dogs’ themselves had their genitalia printed on the back of the sleeve, and record label executives were horrified to learn that it had made it out into the public. These dogs’ diamonds will set you back $3,550.
