MC Solar – Prose Combat \u00a3199.99<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

MC Solar is a French rapper, and the big song on the vinyl is called Obsolete.<\/p>\n

The expert said: \u201cThis album is rare because it was released in 1994. And this is first pressing, hard to find album.\u201d<\/p>\n

The owner has the record listed for \u00a3199.99.<\/p>\n

Soundtrack to Affair at the Villa – Misha Spoliansky \u00a3199.99<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This vinyl is made of acetate which is a rare material mostly used on record from the 1930s to the late 1950s. <\/p>\n

The album is also split into three separate records.<\/p>\n

The vinyl lover said: "The reason that this is in the top five and it's expensive is because even with quite a lot of research, we can't find any information about this soundtrack ever being released."<\/p>\n

The owner confessed she believed the record was one of a kind.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cPretty sure this is the only version in existence. Probably the only one in the world in my hands. It's the only one never, ever released.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is selling for \u00a3199.99.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though the owner confessed: \u201cI'm not sure if we'll ever sell it, but it is definitely rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Art of Soul – Art Mason Jr \u00a3299.99<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Art Mason Jr is a rare artist with generally expensive albums that are hard to find.<\/p>\n

The owner has the record priced at \u00a3299.99.<\/p>\n

She warned: \u201cSo if you see Art Mason Junior in the charity shop, definitely pick it up. Okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

Then the record shop owner revealed the most expensive record she had in her eBay shop.<\/p>\n

Queen and Country – Don\u2019t Stop Me Now \u00a31,999.99<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The owner explained she goes to great lengths to keep the record in good condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt is always kept out of direct light in the mailer at the moment is this."<\/p>\n

"I'm only holding the sleeve. The vinyl is still in the mailer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The record owner explained the piece was so highly valued due to the cover artwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThis image is a Banksy. This is Queen Victoria sitting on somebody's face and it is one of the last releases to feature Banksy artwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just very, very rare, generally is sold in art auctions rather than through record dealers.\u201d<\/p>\n
