Elvis Presley, That’s All Right (1954)
Did you know that the King recorded this album during a studio session for a different song? He was resting from recording when he, bassist Bill Black, and guitarist Scotty Moore jammed to the Arthur Crudup song called “That’s All Right, Mama”. Sam Phillips heard this and pressed the record button! They featured “Blue Moon of Kentucky” on the B-side of the album. The rest is history. If you have a mint condition version of this record, you can get about $4,000 for it!
The Thirteenth Floor Elevators — Reverbaration (Doubt) (1966)
This is an early recording featuring four songs by Thirteenth Floor Elevators. You can get as much as $4,000 for it! The record comes with the following songs: “Fire Engine”, “You’re Gonna Miss Me”, “Reveraration (Doubt)”, and “Tried to Hide.” The band became very influential and essentially invented the psychedelic rock genre. Despite this, the band has a short discography as they only made four studio albums. Guitarist Roky Erickson had paranoid schizophrenia, which made things hard for his career. He eventually got the treatment he needed, which led to a reunion in 2015. He died on May 31, 2019.
