"The site recently published its list of the 25 most valuable records to change hands in 2025, and it featured releases by numerous acts that peaked our attention. Here are few of the standouts: Topping the list at No. 1, going for $15,000, was the second-ever release on the iconic punk label Touch and Go: the "Vengeance" 7″ by short-lived Michigan hardcore band The Fix (catalog number "tgr two"). A piece of punk history that was only limited to 200 copies."
"Nirvana's debut single and first-ever official release, the legendary "Love Buzz / Big Cheese" Sub Pop Singles Club 7″, fetched $10,666 and came in at No. 3 on Discogs' list. A true artifact that approaches museum-worthy, it's no surprise that this one surpasses $10k (another previous sale went for over $11k) when it pops up in the right condition. AC/DC make two appearances on the list. At No. 4 is the promo copy of the "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl" 7″ - the Australian rockers' 1974 debut single on Albert Productions - which sold for $7,000. Also, at No. 22, is a scarce splatter pressing variant of the 1978 live album If You Want Blood You've Got It ($5,523)."
Vinyl demand surged in 2025, driving secondhand prices for rare pressings on marketplaces like Discogs. Discogs recorded numerous high-value sales among its 25 top transactions of the year. The highest sale reached $15,000 for The Fix's limited Touch and Go 7" "Vengeance" (catalog "tgr two"). Nirvana's Sub Pop Singles Club 7" "Love Buzz / Big Cheese" sold for $10,666. AC/DC appeared twice, including a 1974 promo 7" for $7,000 and a splatter pressing of If You Want Blood You've Got It for $5,523. Additional notable sales included a Gorilla Biscuits misspressing, Misfits releases, and a 1984 audiophile Pink Floyd pressing.
