Grease

Product Information

The last year of Elvis Presley's life was spent touring and battling a crippling addiction to pharmaceutical drugs — a series of concerts where Presley at different times struggled to perform or stay on melody.

These rare vinyl records are worth millions of dollars. Most Valuable Vinyl Records Worth Money Veteran DJ Ray Cordeiro with a vinyl record at his home in Hong Kong. Named the world's "most durable DJ" by the Guinness Book of World Records, Cordeiro hung up his headphones for good in 2021, at age 96, after seven decades of entertaining listeners with oldies and classics from the 1960s and 1970s, like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett. Frank Wilson's success wasn't limited to being a top-flight singer and record producer. After he left Motown Records in 1976, he embarked on a career as a bestselling author. The role of Mercury eventually landed in the lap of "Mr. Robot" star Rami Malek with the release of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 2018. Malek's portrayal garnered widespread acclaim, and he won an Academy Award for Best Actor. 20. Van Halen, "Van Halen" (Debut Album) Bass – Wm. J.

Bottom Line: Nirvana, "Bleach"

Whoever made money off "Stormy Weather" by The Five Sharps, it sure wasn't the people who sang the song. When the song was recorded in 1952, group members recalled they were paid in soda pop and hot dogs by Jubilee Records. 12. The Velvet Underground, "The Velvet Underground & Nico" In the early '90s, Grammy Award-winning EDM pioneer Richard James (aka Aphex Twin) abandoned his in-the-works album "Caustic Window" — leaving behind only four test pressings on vinyl. Musicians do not get more famous than the point Madonna reached in the early 1990s. Not only was she a best-selling recording artist but she also found herself as the lead in about a dozen movies from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s. Where The Rolling Stones have truly cemented their legacy over the years has been on tour. By 2007, the group had four of the top five highest-grossing concert tours of all time. 14. Sex Pistols, "God Save the Queen"/”No Feeling” (Tie)

Shellac: A record made from a brittle wax between the 1890s and 1950s, often for a disc that plays at 78 rpm. 34. Miles Davis, "Kind of Blue" (Tie) Music doesn't get better than "Kind of Blue." Blues historians posit that Reed and Hull were from northern Mississippi and their time recording music together didn't go past 1927.

Fact Check: Andy Warhol

This record is actually a first pressing from 1983 that was released by the record label Tartown. That's roughly the album equivalent of a first edition rare book, and it's why "Beat Bop" is considered the "holy grail" of hip-hop vinyl.

Hot Space," a rare Queen record, was Queen's 10th album and one of their transitional works. It marked a turning point for the legendary band, branching into disco, funk, rhythm and blues, pop and dance music. David Bowie became one of the best-selling musicians of all time. His albums are estimated to have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Though Frank Wilson wrote Motown hits for The Supremes, Temptations and Marvin Gaye, as a recording artist he only ever performed on this " Northern soul" single that won a huge cult following in England.

Bottom Line: Misfits, "Legacy of Brutality"

It was known the Fab Four themselves received the first four copies of the album. But it had always been assumed John Lennon nabbed the very first pressing, when in fact it was Starr who had copy No. 1, stored in a bank vault for 35 years. Prior, he had the album in his home and actually played it. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Starr said, "Whoever gets it, it will have my fingerprints on it."
