A collection of vinyl records amassed over 60 years has been sold at auction for nearly £132,000, almost double the expected amount, reports BBC. The two-day sale was run by Ewbank’s in Send, Surrey.
The vinyl collection had been the life’s work of an unnamed collector, who had recently died. Auctioneers had estimated the “jaw-dropping” collection would sell for about £80,000.
A Peel Sessions collection, featuring artists including Jimi Hendrix, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, Nico and Stiff Little Fingers, was expected to fetch between £800 and £1,200, but went for £4,680.
Meanwhile, a collection of Rolling Stones albums expected to sell for up to £400 went for £1,235, and a box of records by 90s artists, estimated to sell for between £300 and 500, was sold for £1,430.
A box of Jimi Hendrix Experience albums went for more than twice its £500 estimate, at £1,040, and a copy of the David Bowie LP The Man Who Sold The World, with an estimated price of £500, was sold for £1,105.
