Most people who buy vinyl records do so because they love the large cover art and the charming sound, or they prefer the more physical listening experience. Most of the time the awesome experience of vinyl is within reach at a reasonable price. However, some records can get really valuable, and there are people who are more than willing to pay what it costs to own that special record missing from the collection.

We wrote a post back in August about the world’s 10 most expensive vinyl records and we thought now might be the time to follow up with a new one. This time with a list of the 10 most expensive records listed on Popsike, a service that keeps track of auction prices.

1. SEX PISTOLS – God Save the Queen – GENUINE A&M AMS7284! – 12675 GBP

2. VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO 1966 Acetate LP ANDY WARHOL – 25200 USD
