Tommy Johnson – ‘Alcohol And Jake Blues’ (1930)
There are only two copies of this record in the world. Someone purchased a copy at an estate sale not knowing its exact value. When he put it on auction on eBay, a betting frenzy resulted in him getting $37,100 for it.
Prince – ‘The Black Album’ (1986)
Soon after the album was released in 1987, Prince demanded to halt the release and recalled all copies because he believed that the record was “evil.” Promotional copies had already been distributed, and one of these was sold for $42,300.
