The Most Valuable Releases Sold on Discogs in 2025 So Far

#1

“Vengeance”

The Fix

1981

A cornerstone of early American hardcore, “Vengeance / In This Town” by the Fix holds serious weight among collectors. Limited to just 200 copies for its 1981 release, it marked the first record from The Fix and the second ever release from Touch And Go Records.

With about 15 copies damaged from the original run, finding a clean one is like striking gold. One Near Mint copy, preserved in Flipside’s (an LA-based punk zine active from 1977–2000) archive, sold for $15,000 in 2025. Thanks to its pristine, likely unplayed condition, it fetched far more than typical copies of “Vengeance,” outpacing another copy that sold for $12,995 in 2023.

Sold for $15,000

Please Please Me

The Beatles

1963

This U.K. first mono pressing of the Beatles’ debut Please Please Me was only available for a few weeks in 1963. Several key features distinguish it from later pressings. First, the labels are black with gold print, unlike the black and yellow labels of subsequent releases. The publishing credit for four tracks is attributed to “Dick James Mus. Co.” instead of Northern Songs. Lastly, the “Photo: Angus McBean” credit on the cover is lower, starting at the end of the word “songs.”

“Boney Maronie / Packing Up“

Damon Fox

1966

Released on Fairmount Records in the 1960s, Damon Fox’s ultra-rare single “Boney Maronie / Packing Up” pairs a gritty, soulful take on the Larry Williams classic “Boney Maronie” with the original flip side “Packing Up.” Fox, a Philadelphia-based soul singer, recorded the track right at the beginning the golden era of the city’s soul scene, but few copies made it to market, making the single one of the rarest on the short-lived Fairmount label.

Sold for $8,500

The Beatles And Frank Ifield On Stage

The Beatles & Frank Ifield

1964

First put together by Vee-Jay Records in 1964 to cash in before losing their publishing rights, Jolly What! The Beatles And Frank Ifield On Stage mashed up four previously released Beatles tracks with eight songs from Frank Ifield under a misleading “live” title. A last-minute version swapped the original cover art for a Beatles-focused sleeve that dropped any mention of Ifield. Fewer than 100 copies exist, making it one of the rarest Beatles LPs ever. Fittingly, this cash grab reissue features the liner note typo: “It is with a good deal of pride and pleasure that this copulation has been presented.”
