A List of Some of the Most Valuable Vinyl Records on this National Vinyl Record Day!

Today’s a day to celebrate everyone’s favorite music medium: The illustrious vinyl record!

For many of us, those grooves hold the soundtracks to our childhood. For a lot more slightly younger folks, it is a throwback to a past when music was more tangible and connectable than the 1s and 0s we most ofeten listen to. Vinyl records are an experience. From the cover art to the notes and lyrics printed on the inside, to making sure you handle the record just right to ensure it lasts for as long as possible.

The folks at Vinyl Fetish put together a list of some of the most valuable piece of vinyl out there today.

Here are the top six…and it’s not surprise that a few Beatles disks make an appearance. Want to cross-reference your collection to the entire list. Click here.
