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.

There are a few more, which I will add when I get a chance.
There are *notes* on each album so if anyone wants more info on anything just give me a shout.
@Greg
I'll give you the full details for your friend when I get a chance if you like.

What's the rarest album (No. 1)?
Or maybe the top 5?

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.

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!
