What is the most expensive album ever sold?
For rich people, scarcity is the most desired attribute in a product. Whether this is related to trainers, food or music, the reason for the high price remains the same.

Usually, this is a marking which makes it stand out from the other copies of the same album. An example of this is Ringo Starr’s copy of The White Album by The Beatles, which had the number ‘0000001’ emblazoned upon it, which signalled it was the first issue.
