The Beatles – Yesterday and Today: up to $125,000
Thrift stores are a great place to look for old vinyl albums. Many times they are under valued. Records you might find could be worth a fortune …
Some original mint condition singles, EPs and LPs sell for huge sums these days, so a look through thrift store vinyl collections could be music to your bank balance.
One of the most infamous album covers in music history, this 1966 US compilation originally had a photo of the Fab Four wearing butchers' smocks and draped in decapitated dolls and meat on its front. But it was pulled from stores after just one day and replaced with a much more anodyne photo of the band. So-called 'first state' versions with the original image are hugely valuable and very rare.
A sealed copy sold for $125,000 via Heritage Auctions in 2016. 'Second state' pressings with the replacement cover pasted over the original are also very valuable (look for 'File Under: The Beatles' and 'T2553' in the top right corner of the front cover).
Once news broke of the switch, many enterprising fans peeled off the replacement cover, with varying degrees of success. These are known as 'third state' copies and are less valuable.
Marilyn Manson – The Golden Age of Grotesque: up to $510
If you snapped up a vinyl copy of Marilyn Manson's fourth studio album, you're in luck. The double LP from 2003 is worth up to $510 in mint condition and even used copies can fetch several hundred dollars.
Britney Spears – Britney: up to $285 Released in 2001, this limited edition of Britney's third album features a colored vinyl record, and came with a poster and cardboard inserts. A bona fide collector's item, this extra-special LP is known to sell for up to $285 in mint condition.
