I was reminded by a friend earlier that it was 9 years ago today that I flogged the 2 rarest records I have ever owned. So here I am showing off my Banksy designed sleeves, I sold both of them and took the lad on holiday and bought a car! The Blowpop Records 12" above STILL holds the world record for the most expensive Banksy sleeved disc ever sold at auction. It was hand-sprayed by the mystery artist himself and was in mint condition, it went for £5,850 to an art gallery in Paris. The other one is a compilation that went for over £1,200. They were both sent to me free ten years earlier by the promotions company when I was working as a volunteer DJ on a community radio station. I carried a tiny pang of guilt for selling them for a while but when the station moved to new premises I repainted the building inside and out so felt much better, haha. I have no regrets in parting with them either and have never seen copies out in the wild or at fairs since though I have looked in vain!
