They offer up to $10,000 to those who still have these old CDs

Many people have chosen to  discard their CDs and physical records  in the face of the advancement of technology and platforms that allow them to listen to any album immediately and anywhere.

However, those who keep their collections could add  a significant amount of money for the rarities that are sought after by collectors .

Some CDs can reach a value of ten thousand dollars , so it is essential to check our boxes or furniture to verify if we have a title that is highly sought after and, therefore, whose value increases.

Which CDs can be worth up to ten thousand dollars?

• “The Future of Rock And Roll” by Bruce Springsteen – None of these albums belong to an American legend like Bruce Springsteen. Although the singer has a total of 21 studio albums, there is a promotional double album that was released in Japan under the name “The Future of Rock And Roll”. Very rarely seen, it was purchased for more than 11,000 pounds, according to the website MyLondon, although it is currently available on eBay for just over 900 pounds (1,100 dollars).

• “My Name Was Prince” by Prince : Also in Japan, the singer released a 12-song album in 1993 with very few copies. This work sought to promote other projects he had in Asia, although it was not a great success. The 50 copies that went on sale made it a dream piece for collectors and one of them can be purchased for almost £2,000 ($2,592) on Discogs.
• “Paris” by Paris Hilton : This is an iconic pop album from the 00s. Recently, she decided to remember that album with a striking proposal: she left 500 copies of a different version of the album, which features remixes by Danger Mouse, as well as a modification of the cover art that she made herself. Currently, it can be found online for almost 9,500 pounds (more than 12,000 dollars).
• “Safety” by Coldplay : The acclaimed band released their first EP in 1988, under the name “Safety.” 500 copies were made and financed by their manager, who gave away their work to labels, friends, family and the media to promote the band. Of that number, about 150 were sold, making these copies sought after by collectors. The price of this early Coldplay work reached £2,000 ($2,500).

More valuable discs

• “Pennyroyal Tea”, Nirvana : part of the album “In Utero”, Nirvana decided to release the single of the song “Pennyroyal Tea” but with the peculiarity that it was an alternative version. Shortly after, Kurt Cobain committed suicide, so distribution stopped and there are few copies. Currently, its value is believed to be between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds sterling.

• “Smile” by Michael Jackson : This is one of Michael Jackson’s rarest projects, marked as an unreleased single released in 1997, albeit to very few people, as a result of its cancellation just as it was about to be formally released. It is currently valued at around £2,000.

• ” Sound + Vision” by David Bowie : In 1989, the iconic singer released this album, which featured the original versions of his career’s greatest hits, including a song in German. This work included a linden and birch box containing a video disc and a 72-page booklet. Because it was a huge seller, prices range from £20 to thousands of pounds on the online market.
