Top Selling Vinyl Records at eBay - October 2009

The results have been compiled and we have the top selling vinyl records sold at eBay during the month of October of 2009, sorted by week. There are some interesting sales for the month including the top money sale going to the Beatles LP "Please Please Me" (Stereo Parlophone Gold UK First Press) coming in at a little over $7,300, this is familiar because last month’s top seller was the same LP, which came in at just below $8,700. Next on the money list is a silk-screened test pressing LP “Out Of Step,” from the American hardcore punk band Minor Threat, which sold for $5,900; they also had another copy of the same record that sold for just under $3,000 two weeks later.

Classical music also scored some big returns with the LP Johanna Martzy "Bach: The unaccompanied Violin Sonatas" (Columbia Box set UK), selling for $5,625, a LP by Leonid Kogan called "Beethoven Violin Concerto" (Columbia SAX 2386 UK Pressing) which sold for $4,610, a Georges Enesco LP, Bach Sonatas Continental , which sold for $3,300 and the LP by Devy Erlih "Bach Sonatas and Partitas for solo Violin" (ADES France) clocking in at just under $3,300. 45 rpm record s also sold well in the month with several records selling for around $3,000 and one, a 45 rpm by William Powell "Heartache Souvenirs" / "The Chicken Shack" (Power-House), that sold for a cool $5,000.
