Top 5 eBay Vinyl Record Sales - Week Ending 11/06/2010

Back from several weeks in and out of California, bringing records home from all outdoors, about 120,000 total. Now that I have inventory queued up, time to catch up on the Top 5. The week ending October 30th has fallen into oblivion, which was a bad week on many levels and I don't miss it.

Damn decent to see a 78 make the list any week, but at the top and over $10k is something special. So is this Robert Johnson record. The seller stated "You'll never see a better copy unless you were standing at the pressing plant in 1938." I'll dig up this or something from Robert Johnson for VRT this week - we are returning with a new show.

Three soul records make the list this week with two 45's and the "Black Out" LP which is a compilation of local funk bands out of Oklahoma from 1970.


1. 78 - Robert Johnson "Me & The Devil Blues" / "Little Queen Of Spades" Vocalion 04108 - $12,100.00

2. 45 - Ellipsis "People" / "Gregory Moore" Briarmeade - $3,605.00

3. LP - Leonid Kogan "Beethoven Violin Concerto" Columbia SAX 2386 UK Pressing - $3,560.00

4. 45 - Harvey Scales "Trying To Survive" / "Bump Your Thang" Magic Touch 3002 - $3,170.00

5. LP - various artists "Black-Out: New Sounds Of '70" Century - $3,107.00



Top 5 eBay Vinyl Record Sales - Week Ending 11/13/2010

Another one of those weeks where the old guard monsters take over the list. The Beatles "Please Please Me" makes the top of the list again, while the Led Zeppelin "Road Box" sells for about half of its usual price. The Fix's punk 45 from the seventies gets the #4 spot; this record looks more and more like the essential punk collectible.


1. LP - The Beatles "Please Please Me" Parlophone UK Gold Black label 1st Stereo - $5,796.95

2. LP - The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" Odeon (for export) - $5,168.64

3. 45 - The Poets "Wrapped Around Your Finger" / "Wait Until Tomorrow" J-2 DJ Copy - $3,661.00

4. 45 - The Fix "Vengence" / "In This Town" - $3,383.00

5. 12" - Led Zeppelin “Road Box” Test Pressing - $3,300.00
