If You Are A Record Collector, You Might Be Sitting On Some Incredibly Valuable Vinyl

The Rolling Stones – Street Fighting Man (1968)

Like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones had a penchant for scandalous covers, with Street Fighting Man’s also enjoying the censoring game. The initial cover showed a hurt protestor being loomed over by policemen. Just days before being published, the Democratic National Convention was besieged by rioters in 1968, prompting executives to think better than adding fuel to the media flames. The records were promptly scrapped, with about 18 surviving the purge. 2011 saw one of these survivors going for $17,000 at an auction.
