The Thirteenth Floor Elevators — Reverberation (Doubt) (1966)
We’re taking things way back now to the 1960’s. It was an era that saw an explosion of bands and genres, and in particular the rise of lucrative touring agreements for bands to perform all over the world. For The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, this was at the height of their fame, and ‘Reverberation (Doubt)’ was an album that put them on the world map. Unfortunately, they called it quits shortly after, which is potentially why the vinyl is worth upwards of $4000 today.

The Beatles — Please Please Me (1963)
It’s impossible to listen to ‘Please Please Me’ without getting some of its terrific songs stuck in your head. Released in 1963, the album solidified The Beatles as a powerhouse group that was showing no signs of slowing down. Their fame and popularity kept growing from this album, which was actually recorded and finished on a single day. A mono copy of this vinyl can fetch between $4000 and $5000 at auction today. Stereo? Now we’re talking double the value.
