The Most Valuable Vinyl Records Today

Published on September 16, 2019 By Jason Albert

Prince, The Black Album

After Prince recorded The Black Album and sold 500,000 copies of it, Prince stopped the release and told the label to bring back all of the copies. This was due to the singer abusing substances and in this state he believed the record was evil.

At this time, the promotional copies had already been circulated and many of the songs were played on the radio, despite the singers protests. A CD version was eventually released in 1994 but the original vinyls sold for a huge $42,300 in 2018.
