Seano Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Apparently in Antiques Roadshow on BBC1 now they're going to do a bit about vinyl. They ask punters to guess "Good, better, best" to put items in order of value.
Seano Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Hank Williams EP, Jimi Hendrix LP, and demo on EMI of Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols. Value range they've mentioned is £20 - £500. Not quite Gwen Owens really is it?
Seano Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Turned out that the Hank Williams was 'Basic' at £20, Sex Pistols 'Better' at £200 and Jimi Hendrix LP 'Best' at £500 based on being a mono copy and with inserts all in good condition. Chap says "one of the most valuable records ever made was 'God Save the Queen' by the Sex Pistols on A&M, adds "there have been instances of that record selling for over £12,000". I think we could all name one to top that.
Agentsmith Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 watched it, suppose the hendrix lp had to be the big hitter as anything by him has always been collectable, but if you think about it, it dosnt even come anywhere near the first beatles lp...but thats pop music....OUR MUSIC is in the premier league of prices.

Guest john s Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I got contacted at the shop by a researcher for this and asked if I could provide a copy of a £1000+ record for the piece - unfortunately the shoot was the next day, and wasn't feasible to get anything to them! Also they wanted names recognisable to the average viewer, and possible to find in this country - so no US soul 45s. Also nothing by the Beatles or Stones, due to some copyright issue, apparently.

It's probably because Record Collector magazine would have sent the heavies round, for nicking the content of their next twelve issues.
