The Pretty Things - Very Rare S.F. Sorrow LP Record.


AUCTION SITE - eBay

CLOSING PRICE - £660.00

A very impressive closing price for a near mint copy of this late sixties classic LP.
The auction was for a stereo first pressing with the blue and black labels.
It seems that rare record price guides can be thrown out of the window when it comes to these near mint examples of evergreen classic collectables.

The Beatles - Very Rare Demonstration 7 inch vinyl Help Demo Record.


AUCTION SITE - eBay

CLOSING PRICE - £985.00

An incredible price for this Beatles Demo copy of the Help 7 inch single. When the last Rare Record Price Guide was published in mid-2006, the existence of this record was said to be ‘unconfirmed’. Well here’s the proof of its existence, and also proof (as if any were needed) that The Beatles are still able to attain jaw dropping prices whenever a rare item from their glory days shows up at auction.
This 7 inch Beatles Demo managed a closing price of £985.00, despite being graded by the seller as ‘VG’.

Interest in Vertigo Swirl labels seems to be intense at the moment. A great closing price for this Classic Progressive Rock Album.

The Zombies - Begin Here Vinyl LP


AUCTION SITE - eBay

CLOSING PRICE - £655.66

Another sixties prog classic that’s almost impossible to find in good shape these days. This particular copy was graded as Mint.
