A Rare 1963 Vinyl Could Sell for $10,000 — Inside the Surging Vinyl Revival
A single vinyl record sitting quietly in a Montreal record store is turning heads across the music world and the reason is simple. That record could sell for as much as ten thousand dollars.
Inside a shop called Aux 33 Tours, surrounded by tens of thousands of albums stacked on shelves, one rare jazz pressing from 1963 has become the center of attention for collectors. The album, titled It Is Revealed , features a collaborative recording session with jazz musicians Prince Lasha, Sonny Simmons, Clifford Jordan and Don Cherry. But what makes this record extraordinary is not just the music. It’s the rarity.
Experts believe fewer than 300 copies of the original pressing were ever produced more than sixty years ago. That kind of scarcity turns a record into a collector’s treasure. And in the growing world of vinyl enthusiasts, rare pressings like this can command astonishing prices.

The Montreal store acquired the album after purchasing the private collection of a dedicated jazz fan who understood exactly what he owned. Since listing the record online earlier this year, the store has already received interest from serious buyers. One collector, who had previously spent thousands on another jazz record, even reached out to ask whether the price could be negotiated.
For the store itself, a successful sale would make history. The shop has never sold a record for more than five thousand dollars before. This one could double that record overnight.
But the bigger story goes far beyond a single album. Vinyl records, once thought to be obsolete, are experiencing a remarkable resurgence around the world. Collectors, music lovers and younger listeners are rediscovering the appeal of analog sound and the tangible experience of owning physical music.
In Quebec alone, vinyl sales have been rising steadily year after year, reaching hundreds of thousands of units annually. Record stores are expanding, pressing plants are increasing production and entire collections containing tens of thousands of records are changing hands as longtime collectors pass their treasures to a new generation.
Even so, most vinyl buyers are not spending thousands of dollars. The typical customer might pay forty or fifty dollars for a new record. But rare pieces like this 1963 jazz pressing remind collectors that hidden gems still exist, waiting to be discovered in basements, personal archives and record store crates.
And that possibility is exactly what keeps the vinyl revival alive.
