WHITNEY HOUSTON – WHITNEY HOUSTON: WORTH $2,025 (£1,587)

Whitney Houston’s 1985 debut introduced a legendary voice that shaped an era. It was the first album by a female artist to debut at number one in the US and became one of the best-selling debut albums ever recorded.

A sealed copy sold for $2,025 (£1,587) in 2019, according to Value Your Music. However, used versions hold far less value, typically selling for up to around $100 (£77).

THE ROLLING STONES – LET IT BLEED: VALUED AT $2,850 (£2,200)

The Rolling Stones’ eighth studio album, Let It Bleed, is cherished by collectors, partly due to its famous cover featuring a cake made by British TV chef Delia Smith. This striking artwork adds to the album’s allure and collectibility.

Original 1969 mono pressings with a red inner sleeve and poster are prized and can sell for up to $650 (£500). Factory-sealed copies go for much higher, sometimes reaching $2,850 (£2,200), making them highly sought after.
