Robert Johnson — Me And The Devil Blues (1938)
Dubbed the godfather of blues, Robert Johnson enjoyed an illustrious career in the early 20th century, and had fans in the legions. Although referencing the devil had happened before he did it, on this particular record, people seemed to take notice. Many criticized him for going against the spoken word. Nevertheless, this timeless vinyl is so valuable, that we can’t even give you an estimate as to how much you may fetch for it in the 2020’s.

The White Stripes — Lafayette Blues (1998)
It’s not often that someone on the list is still relevant to this day, but The White Stripes have continued to be big sellers, especially in the vinyl game, even as recently as with ‘Lazaretto’ in 2014. In 1998, Dave Buick painted over fifteen versions for the cover of “Lafayette Blues”, the latest single from the Stripes at the time. It was meant to be a marketing ploy for their album release, and clearly, it worked. If you forget out five bucks for one of the vinyls at the time, it is now worth nearly $13 000.
