For the second time in less than two months Lester Tipton's La Beat 45 comes in at #1, and from the same seller too - one more rare record found in the bottom of a box (they always are) that the seller didn't realize was there (we never do). This one sells for several hundred dollars less than it twin, at just a penny below $6k.

Next, one of the better Psych treasures, Leaf Hound's Growers Of Mushrooms bids up past $3.4k for the #2 spot. At #3 is a unique collection of Led Zeppelin's complete catalog, all on audiophile 12" 45 RPM records. "The Road Box" as its called sells for more than $2.9k.

Two more Northern Soul 45's take the #4 and #5 spots. First, a Tamala Lewis 45 bids up $10 past $2.8k, and next, the better known and previous #1, Al Williams "I Am Nothing" on Palmer sells for exactly $2.8k.

As always, I want to thank Brian over at http://ccdiscoveries.blogspot.com for this great information.
