The Beatles, Please Please Me (1963)
The Beatles only had a short period of time for this album. The deadline was fast approaching but they only had four songs! They managed to record seven songs in one day, only 9 hours and 45 minutes to be specific. John Lennon also had a cold, which explains how raspy his voice was in “Twist and Shout.” An original pressing of this once went for $4,200. The hint here is “The Beatles” in gold font against black.

Depeche Mode, Music for the Masses
The cover art of this is what makes it so valuable. The original UK edition had a white speaker releasing soundwaves against an orange background. They later replaced it with a loudspeaker in the desert. The label accidentally shipped out a couple of the old version. If you own one, you can get $4,600 for it.
