If You Have Any Of These Classic Vinyl Records, You're Actually Holding On To a Small Fortune

Joy Division, An Ideal For Living

The debut EP from Joy Division was released in 1978 under Enigma Records. They recorded the tracks at Pennine Sound Studios in one day in 1977. It's a heavy post-punk record, and the cover art features a blond Hitler Youth member playing a drum, which was illustrated by the band's guitarist. It sells today for $3,000.

The Sex Pistols, Anarchy In The UK

The Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious is known for historically being unable to play the guitar, and yet their songs just kept selling. Anarchy In The UK was released in 1976 and is regarded by Rolling Stone as number 56 in the top 500 best songs of all time. If you have an early pressing, you can get upwards of $3,000 for it.
