In the early 60’s, the Ronettes owned the charts with their classic, “Be My Baby.” That was followed by more hits like  “Baby, I Love You,” and “Walkin’ in the Rain.” By 1965 their popularity began to fade and their singles were less successful, but not less collectible. Their 45, “Is This What I Get For Loving You,” released on Philles Records, is worth up to $50.00. Add up to another $125.00 for the picture sleeve alone.

When it comes to the value of those old 78’s, nothing brings the green like the Blues. In 1928, Victor Records released “Cool Drink of Water Blues” by Tommy Johnson, now worth up to $3,000.00. In 1931 Paramount Records released “Flaggin’ it to Georgia” by Jaydee Short. Find a copy and up to $20,000.00 could be yours.

Considered to be one of the first heavy metal albums, “Vincebus Eruptum” by Blue Cheer featured their hit, “Summertime Blues,” a cover version of Eddie Cochran’s Rock and Roll classic. The single, released on Phillips Records in 1968, is worth up to $75.00 with its picture sleeve. The Blue Cheer album, “Vincebus Eruptum,” is worth up $50.00 in stereo but up to $250.00 in mono. Both 45 picture sleeve and album are pictured here.

Vogue picture or painted records, which were issued from 1946-1947, can be very collectible. They were produced by Sav-Way Industries of Detroit. There are about 75 in the series like “When I get Where I’m Going” by Patsy Montana. A copy is worth up to $200.00. “Easter Parade” by Judy Garland on Vogue Records can sell up to $1,000.00 today. “These are just two of the picture discs you’ll find listed on our “Picture Discs Price Guide.” It’s available in the left column.

Jape Richardson, better known as the Big Bopper, had one giant hit in 1958 with “Chantilly Lace.” But he became legendary on Feb.3, 1959 when he died in the same plane crash with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. That date will always be remembered as “the day the music died.” An original copy of “Chantilly Lace” on D Records is worth up to $200.00. The “Chantilly Lace” album, released on Mercury Records is worth no more than $15.00 if the label pictures the Chicago skyline. It’s worth up to $100.00 if the label is red and up to $500.00 if the label is black. Original issues and re-issues of every record are detailed in “Mighty John’s Record Appraisal Guide,” available in the left column.

The Yardbirds had more “guitar heroes” than any other band of the 1960’s including Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck. They pioneered such guitar innovations as feedback and fuzz tones, laying the groundwork for the Heavy Metal to follow. Their 1965 hit, “For Your Love,” is worth up to $40.00 on Epic Records. The “For Your Love” album can sell for $200.00 today. Both are shown here.
