Elton John - Yellow Brick Road

[Kelly1979]

Does anybody know how much the album for Elton John's Yellow Brick Road would be worth now if the vinyl record is actually yellow?

I don't know how rare such a pressing is - best to get hold of a copy of 'Record Collector' magazine and mail or call a few dealers to get an idea. If you offer to sell it to them, and they offer anything like a good price, remember that as a general rule, they look to make 100% profit, so it could be worth twice what they offer you. Otherwise, stick it on Ebay, and see what comes in.

It all depends on the date of release (original pressing or re-released) the country of release (Australian and Japenese pressings are usually worth more) and the sleeve (tri-fold, gatefold or single cover) and of course the condition of the vinyl and cover.

I use http://eil.com/  as a very rough price guide to the highest you could expect to get (minus aprox 25%)

But at the end of the day vinyl collecting is so much easier since the internet arrived. It all depends on how much a buyer wants it and what they are prepared to pay for it.

I sold the Who L/P "Who Sell Out" for �58.00 (I paid �1 at a boot sale) and I recently spent �50.00 on an "Ash" Fan Club only 7" Glitter single.

According to the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide 2006 the yellow vinyl version is worth 20 quid in MINT condition. There's approx three copies listed on eBay at the moment ranging from 3 quid to 10 quid. Don't buy that Porsche yet !
