This week we go back down in the middle ground between zilch and $5k, with the highest selling record being 1/2 of an Elvis EP. This is a radio station copy of one record of the EPB-1524 EP set on RCA with an alternate sleeve, the commercial sleeve sporting the famous pink and green typeface and commonly selling for around fifty dollars. This alternate sleeve shoots the price up to a few dollars below $2.5k.
Next, a Northern Soul 45 from the Idols sells for over over $2.1k. A Prestige jazz LP from Sonny Rollins takes the #3 spot bidding up past $2k.
Another Northen Soul 45 gets the #4 spot, this one by Bobby Kline and selling for more than $1.7k. And last, a Psych LP of a 100 copy run from The Brigade closes $2 under its fourth place companion.
