The Buckinghams had 5 top-20 hits. In 1967, they went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single, “Kind of a Drag,” worth up to $20.00. USA Records, which released the 45, also issued the “Kind of a Drag” album. If you have a copy with 12 songs on it, it’s worth up to $30.00. However, if you have a copy with 13 songs, the value jumps up to $125.00 today.
