The Beatles are so huge it’s only natural that they’ve got several special vinyls to their name. Their self-titled double album from 1968 became affectionately known as The White Album. While it sold an astronomical amount of copies, Ringo Starr held on to the very first copy ever pressed. 

The drummer held on to the record with the serial number ‘000001’ right up until 2015 when he decided to let it go to auction. Julien’s in the U.S. found a buyer for Ringo’s prized possession, collecting $790,000. Incidentally, Starr’s drum kit also sold the same day for an astonishing $2.2 million.

For those who may not know, the Beatles founded Apple Records in 1968. It was originally their creative outlet, and, as time went on, other artists appeared on the record, including Badfinger, Billy Preston, Mary Hopkin, and James Taylor. When the Beatles went solo, Apple Records was home to their mid-seventies solo releases.
