Is there still a demand for a pressing of Oasis’ watershed moment, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? as the band continue their reunion shows at Heaton Park this week, or has the announcement of a new boxed set celebrating the anniversary of the album put CD collectors off?
That’s one of the questions we’ll be answering once again this month, as we take a look at the most wanted CDs in July 2025, according to Discogs. Despite the short time between now and when we last took a look at the online marketplace, there have been some movements and even some new entries for the month. From a macabre interest (it would seem) for a controversial hip-hop artist, to an interest once again in the ‘90s alternative rock scene, it’s all movement for collectors as our list indicates.
All the information is correct as of writing. And once again, the releases and the amount of “wants” by those who use Discogs is not an indicator that they might be worth thousands. But for the still curious, here are your 25 most wanted CDs – have any cropped up in your collection over the last few weeks?
