Rare Sex Pistols Single Valued at $12,000
A “God Save the Queen” single by the Sex Pistols is the most valuable of all time, according to the U.K.’s Record Collector magazine. The reason the single, on A&M, is so valuable is that The Sex Pistols were dropped by their label before the record could be released. It’s estimated to be worth $12,000.
Record Collector magazine has listed the top 51 most valuable vinyl records. According to BBC News, Editor Ian McCann said: “There is something of an investment market in mint-condition copies of iconic albums. The problem is people love them and play them to death, making it increasingly rare to find them in mint condition.”
“Please Please Me” (on the Black and Gold label) comes second with a value of £4,700, while The Rolling Stones clock in at #5 with their eponymous debut album from 1964, which is valued at $1,500.
