Product Information

A little-known engineer on the album, Jimmy Iovine, would become one of the most influential people in the music industry as a producer, and was one of the driving forces behind careers as diverse as U2, Dr. Dre and Tom Petty. Finding a copy of any record that is more than 20 years old in such condition is quite difficult, and the value of a record can vary widely depending on its condition. In the case of many records from the late 1950s and early 1960s, finding worn and nearly-unplayable copies of a particular record might be relatively easy, while finding one in mint condition may be nearly impossible. Beat Bop" is a single by American hip-hop artists Rammellzee and K-Rob. It is one of the most unique records on this list, not only for the music (which influenced many hip-hop artists, including the Beastie Boys) but also for the cover art that was designed by the famed Jean-Michel Basquiat.

In all honesty, it was like being at a normal school because I didn’t go to one like that. At my school, there was a uniform, the boys and the girls we kept separate and the environment was very different. In so many ways it was an experience I’d never had before.

He’d come by every day and give us a pep talk and keep the energy up.” What was Olivia Newton-John’s net worth? Image: Charles Bush/Courtesy: Everett Collection. Exceptions to that exist; that can come in the form of artists who were never particularly popular, but who were influential in the industry. That’s true of artists such as Robert Johnson, the Velvet Underground, or the Stooges. None of these artists were very successful and their records sold poorly when new. All three were enormous influences on other musicians, however, and as a result, their records sell for surprisingly high prices today.

Vinyl records value is determined by a number of factors, including condition, scarcity, the name of the artist, and a host of other things, both obvious and obscure.
