10 More Hard Rock Vinyl Albums That Are Worth A Lot Of Money

10. The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie

For many David Bowie fans, his peak as an musician, artist, and all-round creative was this 1972 album with a name so long, most people just shorten it to the first two words.

Ziggy Stardust not only contained songs like Starman, Five Years, and Suffragette City, but it also introduced the world to Bowie's extra-terrestrial alter ego, who would become a key part of his legend.

As a result, certain copies of the record are like, well, stardust amongst the music community, with one in particular sure to fetch a pretty penny.

The fourth Japan issue of the album, which was released in 1975, features the iconic cover, but with a white strip with red Japanese writing down one side. It was issued on the RCA label and, according to Discogs, perspective buyers can expect to pay $576.75 for a copy.

That's 84,270 Japanese Yen, in case you were wondering.

Ziggy Stardust may have never charted in The Land of the Rising Sun, but Bowie's subsequent tour did pass through the country. Anyone clever enough to buy a copy of the album might now be sitting on a gold mine.
