THE ROLLING STONES – STICKY FINGERS: VALUED AT $1,240 (£957)

Released in 1971, Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones is famous not only for its music but also for its iconic Andy Warhol-designed cover featuring a working zipper that opens to reveal fabric underneath. The album sold nearly 3.6 million copies, but original pressings with the full-size zipper are highly prized.

A sealed first pressing recently sold for about $1,240 (£957) on eBay. Even used early editions with the large zipper command strong prices, fetching up to $715 (£553), making this a coveted collector’s item.
