Would You Spend $5700 for 20 Seconds of Music?
Someone did.
When the mysterious Scottish band Boards of Canada offered up a special Record Store Day release entitled ——- / ——- / ——- / XXXXXXX / ——- / ——- (I swear to God that’s the title), collectors went crazy.
Yet all the record featured was a 20-second burst of music (see video below). That’s it. And yet when the record went up for sale on eBay earlier this year, it sold for about $5,700 CAD.
