Just had a quick squint and the only 2 "reggae" albums I have seen are;
Prince Buster - "What A Hard Man Fe Dead"
Various Artists - "Fly Flying Ska"

£300 each.

I'll have a proper look tonight.

Hi Mick D

I'll do the Top 5 tonight.

The rarest was a Beatles album. The White Album if I remember rightly - £5,000-£7,000. No idea why it's worth that much as it wasn't something I was interested in or likely to have. Maybe something to do with the cover.

[6anbatte]

Here we go;
1)The Beatles - "White Album" - £5,000- £7,000+
2)John Lennon & Yoko Ono - "Unfinished Music Volume 1" - £3,000
3) The Beatles - "Please Please Me" - £2,500
4)Billy Nicholls - "Would You Believe" - £2,500
5)Marc Bolan - "Hard On Love" - £2,000

Number 1 album had a unique numbering system. If you had 1-10 they are worth £5,000 to £7,000+; 11-1,000 - £1,000 and so on.
Probably be more than a little miffed if you had number 11!
