Finding that Vinyl Golden Album

The trek to find a super vinyl golden album is really though. I go to garage sales where you can find tremendous others that you are not aware about such as vintage Barbie dolls, die cast cars, coca cola give-aways, and etc. As for me the mean me who flock early on yard sales would ask to sellers if there are strange vinyl discs lurking around on display shelves. What I am trying to find are vinyl records that will had been greatly been forgotten by the people. If I only have the power to open up those record labels to open up their coffers of vinyl discs then I would now be the king of vinyl discs.

For instance records that had been produce in a little as 100 copies in those times would be gold for me. A man named Paul like me had one of those most interesting prized records to date. He got a great collection of John Lennons and Beatles rare edition and he is not other than Paul McCartney. Good grief, he has the rare Beatles album.

I would love to leave you a list of The World’s 10 Most Valuable Vinyl Records. Here they are…
