Bruce Springsteen, Spirit in the Night (1973)
It is very rare to find a copy of the original pressing of this single, the very first one by the Boss. You can get hundreds of bucks for the promotional copies, but an original pressing can go for $5k! Whoa. Bruce Springsteen recorded “Spirit in the Night” for his full-length album Greetings from Ashbury Park.

This might come as a surprise if you are not a fan of classical music! It is not uncommon for record companies to ask for the help of emerging artists when it comes to classical and jazz album covers. When this album was in the works, Andy Warhol had been just another starving artist. It is said that there are only 7 copies of this. In 2012, one of them was sold for $5,500.
