Looks like despite the cold weather, there’s an interest in the more “summery” selection of vinyl that has been on sale through online marketplace Discogs this month.
We’ve once again delved into some of the biggest sales that have taken place through the website in November, particularly focusing on vinyl. Of the 15 records we’ve covered this month, we were quite pleasantly surprised to see two UK psychedelia acts from the swingin ‘60s both fetched large amounts. Then again, growing up as a bit of a punk fan, it’s nice to see one of the forefathers of the US movement also appear twice in November’s list.
There’s also large values dished out for Black Sabbath, Kiss, and Taylor Swift once again, with one of Germany’s hallowed post-punk venues also making a rare appearance on the marketplace—and with it, of course, a handsome sum forked out for something so scarce.
Here are some of November’s most expensive sales on Discogs, and as always, if you think you have something of value akin to what’s featured on our list, do your due diligence and check on the pricing before committing to a sale; music, as always, fluctuates in value depending on demand.
13. Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (£3,200.00)
This entry is an exception to the rule, proving that sound quality and extreme scarcity can drive modern collector prices through the roof. This is the legendary Nimbus Records "Supercut" version of their 1975 masterpiece. It was a limited edition audiophile reissue pressed in 1984, exclusively for readers of Hi-Fi Today magazine. It was limited to a minuscule run of only 1,000 copies. (LP, Nimbus Supercut Reissue, 1984) | Getty Images/Discogs
14. U2 – Three (£3,976.74)
Before they filled stadiums, U2 were just four young lads cutting their teeth on a modest local label. This 12-inch single is the first official commercial release by U2, pressed for the Irish market only. The pressing was a highly limited, individually numbered edition of just 1,000 copies, marking a perfect starting point for any U2 collector seeking the absolute foundation of the band's colossal career.

15. AC/DC – Can I Sit Next To You, Girl (£5,320.00)
This incredible sale represents a pinnacle for AC/DC collectors: the debut single of the legendary rock band, but with an extremely rare, geographically unique twist. The original 1974 single features original vocalist Dave Evans—before the arrival of Bon Scott. The 1974 New Zealand pressing on the Polydor label is exponentially rarer than the Australian-only release, commanding this staggering price. (7”, New Zealand Polydor, 1974) | Getty Images/Discogs
