Depeche Mode, Music for the Masses
Interestingly, this Depeche Mode record’s cover is its most lucrative feature, showing a picture of crimson speakerphones set against a romantic dawn sky. The orange frame of this graphic is the final sign of success. This particular version of the record was accidentally distributed for a short time by the band’s label, quickly ceasing its release. This small error could earn you big bucks, $4,600 in fact! Amazing how two different versions of the same thing can be valued so differently.
Misfits, Legacy of Brutality (1985)
Here we have a record that is harder to find than most, given that only 16 copies of Legacy of Brutality were released. When Misfits’ ex-vocalist, Glen Danzig, caught wind of this record’s production that had been released without his permission, he quickly called his lawyer and instigated a lawsuit that would last months. If you happen to possess one of the several hidden gems in existence, you could easily pass it on for a cool $5000.
