The Beach Boys – Ten Little Indians: up to $100

One to hold on to. Original pressings of this single (7", 45 RPM) are only worth around $100 now, but with the band firmly fixed as rock and roll legends these days, it's fair to say their early singles will be worth a great deal in years to come.

The Beatles – Yesterday and Today: up to $125,000

One of the most infamous album covers in music history, this 1966 US compilation originally had a photo of the Fab Four wearing butchers' smocks and draped in decapitated dolls and meat on its front. It was pulled from those stores that had allowed it to be sold after a day and replaced with a much more anodyne photo of the band. So-called 'first state' versions with the original image are hugely valuable and very rare. A sealed copy sold for $125,000 via Heritage Auctions in 2016. 'Second state' pressings with the replacement cover pasted over the original are also very valuable (look for 'File Under: The Beatles' and 'T2553' in the top right corner of the front cover). Once news broke of the switch, many enterprising fans peeled off the replacement cover, with varying degrees of success. These are known as 'third state' copies and are less valuable.
