The first of the Tony Sheridan 45's, backed by the Beatles, tops the list this week, selling on a Buy-It-Now for $5.5k. This is the commercial, black label, Decca 45, the rarer of the two versions, the second being the pink promo release. The Beatles changed their name to the Beat Brothers for this and other Tony Sheridan records, as the primary audience was in Germany, and "Beatles" sounded very close to a German slang word for penis.

In the #2 spot, a Swiss Pysch LP from The Sevens bids past $2.4k. Next, a Lightnin' Hopkins LP on Herald sells for one quarter past $2.1k.

The #4 spot goes to Lee Morgan's "Candy" LP on Blue Note, which closes over $2.1k. And last, a jazz fusion LP from Linda Coyle, her first solo record after being a member of Affinity, bids up past $1.7.
