Bob Dylan, ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ (withdrawn version) — $35,000

The original ‘Freewheelin.’ One of–if not the–rarest and most valuable records in the world. A stereo copy sold for $35,000, and a mint mono copy would likely bring $15,000.
‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ is Dylan’s second album, released in late May, 1963. While his self-titled debut featured only two original compositions, eleven of the thirteen tracks on ‘Freewheelin’ were written by Dylan. For reasons still not completely clear, just prior to the album’s release four of the songs were replaced with four newly recorded tracks. Some speculate that because CBS television’s censors wouldn’t let Dylan perform ‘Talkin’ John Birch Blues’ on the Ed Sullivan Show, the CBS-owned Columbia Records pulled it from the album. Others note that the four “replacement” tracks were recorded after the album was completed, and were simply too good to be left off (they included Dylan classics Masters of War and Girl From The North Country.)
