It’s the end of the month, and roll on payday for many of us. But for those looking for a bit of extra cash, why not dive into your record collection once again?
Or, if you’ve had a particularly bountiful month and fancy a splurge or a treasure hunt, then perhaps one of these 15 high-selling music releases might be on your list, or Santa’s wish list this close to Christmas?
We’ve once again taken to Discogs to take a look at some of this month’s biggest sales from the world of vinyl, compact discs, and all those other formats long thought to be dead. We’ve also included the last time the item sold for such an amount, so don’t be surprised to find out overnight that a few more have topped this list.
But for now, who have been some of the biggest sellers on the online marketplace this month?
13. The Nazz,– Lay Down And Die, Goodbye
The rarity of this US Garage Rock 7-inch single from 1967, released on the ultra-obscure Very Record label, is almost mythical. This pre-Todd Rundgren obscurity commanded a phenomenal price of £1,785.99 on October 23, 2025. | Last.FM/Discogs
14. Herbert von Karajan – Complete Recordings On Deutsche Grammophon And Decca
This limited-edition box set proves that physical media giants still rule. This gargantuan collection contains 330 CDs, 24 DVDs, and 2 Blu-rays, documenting the complete recorded legacy of the legendary conductor. This comprehensive monument to classical music sold for an eye-watering £1,934.47 on October 24, 2025. | Getty Images/Discogs
15. MC5 – Back In The USA
Topping the list is an ultra-rare piece of proto-punk history. This is the Ultra-rare Japanese Promotional Pressing of the 1970 album, highly sought after by collectors for its immaculate quality, unique OBI strip, and limited quantity. This Near Mint copy was the single most valuable sale of the month, fetching £2,160.20 on October 26, 2025. | Getty Images/Discogs
