Top 20 Vintage Vinyl Records That Are Worth Thousands Today

19 Queen – Queen Rocks

Queen Rocks is a unique album for Queen. This compilation album is not a “Greatest Hits” type of album. The album is primarily focused on deep tracks, although there are some hits. Queen Rocks include songs that weren’t released on singles like “Sheer Heart Attack,” TEAR IT UP, and “Put Out the Fire.”

EMI manufactured this album. While it was released in Europe by Parlophone, the American label that is credited with the release in Hollywood. Queen Rocks also featured songs that didn’t have Freddie Mercury on them, making this record a dark horse of Queen’s discography.

Tony Visconti, a well-known producer, was the reason Bolan was invited onto “The Prettiest Star.” Visconti later described how the session went, until Bolan’s spouse said to Bowie that Marc wasn’t “too good to play on this record.” That would be the beginning of the separation (and the eventual rivalry).

Unfortunately, their relationship did not go as planned and they split up in 1980. The single copy is there, but it’s possible to end up spending a lot more if you wish to add it to the collection. Copies can be purchased for more than $2,000.
