“Melody AM” by Roiksopp is recognized as one of the most expensive vinyl records sold in history.
The Norwegian duo’s 2001 debut album, which peaked at number one in Norway and number nine in the UK, is widely regarded as an original collection of ambient electronica.
“Melody AM” made Sven Berge and Thorbjorn Brundtland famous, and also made them sought-after remixers, for example in 2003 Coldplay enlisted them to work on the remake of “Clocks”, “Röyksopp Trembling Heart Mix”.
Following their debut album, which spawned singles including ‘So Easy’, ‘Eple’ and ‘Poor Leno’, Röyksopp have seen their work widely used in films and TV shows including Six Feet Under. They went on to collaborate with artists including Robin and Karin Dreyer Anderson of The Knife, and may have influenced later electronic artists including Miike Snow and Cut Copy.
Now, WeRaveYou has released a new review of the most expensive vinyl records ever sold on Discogs, and announced that “Melody AM” is nearing the top of the chart.
A version of the 2002 debut duet with a Banksy-painted cover sold on Discogs in 2019 for $10,465.10 (£8,477.25). A specific copy of the album was released in a limited edition of 100 copies, which explains the price.
However, Scaramanga Silk’s “Choose Your Weapon” topped the Discogs list, selling for $27,500 (£22,273.35). A copy of Prince’s Black Album followed in second place at $25,000 (£20,250).
This news followed 2003 Pet Shop Boys CD, which became one of the most expensive ever sold.
Pop Art: The Hits — 5 Songs From Our History was released on Parlophone exclusively in Japan two decades ago in an edition of 25 copies. The CD contains some of the band’s best and most loved songs from throughout their career, including “West End Girls” and “Always On My Mind”.
In the new list of Discogs, which features the 50 most expensive CDs to be sold on the popular resale site, “Pop Art: The Hits – 5 Songs From Our History” ranks ninth with a sales value of $2,309.15 (£1,870).
According to figures released by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA), vinyl sales have been exceeded CD sales for the first time in 35 years.
Total music sales are set to grow by three per cent in 2022 to nearly £2bn, the highest level since 2003 and almost double their 2013 low.
According to published figures, physical sales did fall slightly by 3.8 per cent to £280.4m, but stabilized as the vinyl format showed steady growth and compact discs refused.
