40 Vinyl Records That Are Worth Way More Than You Expect

NORAH JONES – COME AWAY WITH ME: AROUND $125 (£96)

Norah Jones’ 2002 debut Come Away With Me was both a commercial powerhouse and a critical darling. Topping charts in 20 countries and selling an astonishing 30 million copies, the album also swept multiple Grammy Awards. Despite its widespread availability, even standard pressings of this smooth jazz-pop classic have gained value over the years.

If you happen to own a copy in excellent shape, it could be worth about $125 (£96) today. Collectors appreciate the album’s enduring charm and warm, analog sound, especially on vinyl. While rare pressings fetch more, even regular editions hold their own in the resale market. Want to know if yours is worth top dollar?

GURU – JAZZMATAZZ, VOL. 1: FETCHES UP TO $150 (£116)

Released in 1993, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 was hailed as a groundbreaking blend of hip-hop and jazz, and it remains a benchmark for genre fusion. Created by the late Guru—half of the legendary duo Gang Starr—the album’s influence continues to resonate long after his passing in 2010. Its visionary sound and star-studded collaborations make it a favorite for vinyl enthusiasts and hip-hop collectors alike.

While later pressings of the album usually go for around $100 (£77), original first pressings command higher prices. One such copy sold for $150 (£116) on eBay in February. If you’re trying to identify a first edition, look for subtle label variations and specific matrix numbers. Online resources like Discogs are helpful for verification, or you can turn to collector groups and record shop experts for guidance.
