Whats the most expensive soundtrack ever sold?

Hello soundtrack fans.
Wow (and wow again) The price this soundtrack went for knocked my socks off.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140097123880&rd=1&rd=1

I am aware from posts on this site that some soundtracks/scores are rare and go for a decent amount but the above shocked me.

Can anyone give me any more examples of mega expensive soundtracks. I'm just curious to know the most expensive. ta. Roy

The 2-CD Airwolf Themes release has ended on eBay several times now in the $600.00 to $1000.00 range, although this one really takes the cake:

BR Esper Edition on pressed CDs? lol
never seen those
those CDs looks like CDRs.
anyway I've got a 3-disc edition (MK3) of BR and it's also Esper.. and the guy also marked them as non-CDRs... but mine were much cheaper xD
why must people lie about this.

After the recent "Caine Mutiny" soundtrack LP which was supposedly auctioned off on eBay at a very high price indeed as suggested by A.N.,

http://ox.ca/3in

the first Varese CD club release ''Cherry 2000'' by Basil Poledouris before the expanded Prometheus CD rerelease, was considered among soundtrack collectors to be the most expensive soundtrack auctioned off on eBay, ranging somewhere from USD $2000 - USD $2.500. I cannot remember exactly.

I am pretty sure that other private soundtrack sales among collectors and outside the realms of eBay must have fetched, if not the same and even more, near high price tags!

In fact, "Cherry 2000" is still the most expensive CD soundtrack ever sold and I would think that now, "Caine Mutiny" the most expensive LP soundtrack ever sold.

As my friend Miranda would say...

That's all!

I have no proofs, but I have seen a brother bear for your consideration promo ended for about 3500 dollars on Ebay if I am not mistaken!
Also Vangelis for your consideration cd "Alexander" has also ended on Ebay for lots of dollars (I thought also around 3500 dollars)
so there are enough looneys on this planet!

AIRWOLF THEMES is most expensive TV soundtrack

Unfortunately, none of the above eBay links have screengrabs and they get wiped from their system after a few months.

Here's a link to Airwolf Themes' screengrabs for all its bigger auctions over the years: http://www.airwolfthemes.com/awtworldrecord.html
