If you have an early Now That's What I Call Music you could be quids in...
CDs and vinyl records were once considered relics of the past, thanks to the rise of first MP3 then global streaming services. However, nostalgia is now big business and people are flocking back to physical media in droves. This means those old discs gathering dust on your shelf or in your car could now be worth money.
For example, Bruce Springsteen released The Future of Rock and Roll as a promo-only compilation in Japan in 1988. This 16-track double disc is now incredibly hard to come by and can fetch around £1,100. One eBay user is currently selling their copy for £907. Prince's My Name Was Prince follows a similar narrative, reports MyLondon.
Paris Hilton's brief stint in the music industry may have ended years ago, but her debut album Paris is now a hot commodity. This is all thanks to London's beloved graffiti artist Banksy who, back in 2006, sneakily placed around 500 counterfeit copies of the album in 48 UK shops. Unfortunately, the 15-track collection was re-released in 2019 so it's not super rare, but original discs can still sell for between £200-£400. Only 150 copies of Coldplay's 1998 EP The Safety were available for purchase, with the remaining 350 supposedly given to family, friends, and label executives. It's now one of the most valuable CDs from Chris Martin's band and lucky music fans who own one can reportedly fetch around £1.5k.
