Sejak kami mulai membuat variasi eksklusif dari album - yang pertama adalah I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams dari Diarrhea Planet pada awal tahun 2014 - Vinyl Me, Please telah menerbitkan lebih dari 200 album eksklusif. Mulai dari Rekor Bulanan kami dan Seri Rising hingga eksklusivitas toko dan Vinyl Me, Please Classics dan lebih, sangat gila untuk memikirkan bahwa kami telah membuat cukup banyak piring untuk mengisi rak Kallax.
Yang bahkan lebih gila bagi kami adalah betapa berharganya beberapa piring ini telah menjadi melalui situs bekas seperti Discogs. Eksklusivitas toko yang mulai muncul sebagai edisi 300 dari Vinyl Me, Please kini memiliki kehidupan baru sebagai pembelian seharga $200 di Discogs. Karena kami juga kolektor yang rajin dan mengumpulkan barang-barang ini sama seperti anggota kami, itu membuat kami berpikir: Album mana yang telah kami rilis yang paling berharga?
Kami menghubungi teman-teman kami di Discogs - pencipta aplikasi koleksi piring terbaik di luar sana - untuk memberi kami data historis tentang setiap rilis Vinyl Me, Please untuk menentukan 10 piring termahal yang pernah kami rilis. Data penjualan di sini didasarkan pada penjualan tertinggi yang tercatat di Discogs; angka yang bisa Anda lihat di situs adalah hanya 10 penjualan terakhir. Beberapa judul di sini mungkin mengejutkan Anda.
Our October, 2017, Record of the Month was Moses Sumney’s Aromanticism. Moses is a beloved artist with a rabid fanbase, and our first release with him—last year’s Lamentations—goes for big bucks on Discogs too. Aromanticism sold for a whopping $103.54, good enough to make the top 10 on this list.
Fleet Foxes’ comeback album is one of 2017’s best, and our store exclusive edition came on beautiful blue and gold swirl vinyl limited to 1,500 copies. So it’s not surprising that an album this new is ranking this high on this list, after selling for $110 on Discogs.
Earl Sweatshirt’s claustrophobic and fantastic second album dropped in 2015. So did this Vinyl Me, Please store exclusive blue swirl edition limited to 1,000 copies, which dropped in December, 2015. It tipped the scales on Discogs at $113.72.
Arriving in March 2017, this limited to 2,000 rainbow splattered store exclusive edition of the National’s second album is their first appearance on this list. The National is one of our favorite bands, and it’s clearly one of our members’ too. This National store exclusive sold for $115.33.
Released as a store exclusive as part of Cyber Monday in November 2016, Young Thug’s Jeffrey was one of 2016’s best rap albums—a new peak for Thug in a career that has been a veritable mountain range. Limited to 1,500 copies on light blue vinyl that matches Thug’s dress on the cover, this record has sold for $129.99.
The newest release on this list, Noname’s Telefone was the inaugural release in Vinyl Me, Please’s Rap and Hip-Hop subscription in September 2017. Noname’s raw, sensational debut, this limited to 1,500 album sold for $130.94 on Discogs.
Until April 2017, the War on Drugs’ third album was our most valuable Record of the Month. Originally featured in August 2014 as our 20th Record of the Month, this modern indie rock masterpiece was on mint colored vinyl. It sold on Discogs for $145.99 at its peak.
The second appearance of the National on this list, this limited to 1,000 store exclusive red swirl edition of the National’s Cherry Tree EP came out in March 2016. Released between the band’s second LP (which was earlier on this list) and their breakthrough LP Alligator, it’s a document of a band making the jump from indie curio to big audience songcrafters. It sold for $150 on Discogs.
The Holy Grail record for a generation of vinyl collectors, Demon Days was our Record of the Month in April 2017, leading to the first ever first day sellout in Vinyl Me, Please history when Gorillaz fans signed up for every available spot we had. Our red edition was remastered with the approval of Damon Albarn and company, who hadn’t reissued the album on wax since it came out in 2005. It sold, at its peak, for $168.71 on Discogs.
A record that sold out in under two minutes in August of 2016, the rush to buy Venice crashed our store.
