Wu-Tang Clan, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin
A singular copy of Wu-Tang's 2015 release via RZA sold for $2 million at an auction. This record was recorded in secret over the course of six years, and then instead of doing a typical drop, only one copy was released. The terms of the release were odd, to say the least: “The seller may legally plan and attempt to execute one heist or caper to steal back (the album), which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to the seller. Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by currently active members of the Wu-Tang Clan and/or actor Bill Murray, with no legal repercussions.”
The Quarrymen, That'll Be The Day
In 1958, Kensington Records released the first single from Paul McCartney's band before he was a Beatle. He, John, and George had their own project before adding in Ringo and forming the supergroup we know them as. That'll Be The Day is a Buddy Holly cover, but there were 50 copies pressed for friends and family that are worth around $3,500 today.
