Welcome to the $1000 Record Club—an exclusive list of Canadian records that have either surpassed or are approaching the USD $1,000 mark in collector value. These are the rarest of the rare: private pressings, limited runs, and cult classics that have become holy grails for vinyl hunters worldwide. With only around a hundred entries, this club isn't about hype—it's about scarcity, story, and serious demand. Handle with care—these slabs are gold.
