First and foremost, a special thank you to Norm and Jane at CC Discoveries.blogspot.com for putting together this interesting data. Be sure to listen to their popular radio show (Vinyl Record Talk ) for more information about the weekly top 5, vinyl record news and as well as weekly guests.
The honor of our top seller for the month of August 2010 is a test pressing of Bob Dylan's 'Blood On The Tracks' LP which went for a cool eight grand. The Beatles come in second, with a very familar listing, 'Please Please Me' (Parlophone UK Gold Black label 1st Stereo), which sold for a shade under $5,200.
A 78 rpm Vogue Picture Disc by Art Kassel ("Queen For A Day"/"End Of A Perfect Day") sold for $4,207.28. Two more 78's made the monthly list, one from blues legend Robert Johnson ("Kind Hearted Woman Blues"/"Terraplane Blues" Vocalion 03416) which sold for $3,428.92 and another by Freddie Keppard's Jazz Cardinals ("Stock Yard Strut"/"Salty Dog" Paramount) which sold for $2,801.
A great Led Zeppelin effort made the monthly list twice, with one 12" - Led Zeppelin 'Road Box' selling for $3,850 and the other for $3,150. Additionally two Sonny Clark LP's on Bluenote made the list with 'Dial S For Sonny' (Blue Note 1570) going for $3,379 and 'Sonny's Crib' (Blue Note 1576) selling for $3,050. Another Bluenote, Hank Mobley's self titled LP (Blue Note 1568) hit the hammer at an even $3,150.

78's at the top two spots, as the resurgence of the 78 continues. A Vogue picture disc makes the #1. Robert Johnson, a frequent visitor to the list recently, makes the number two spot. And someone out there has unleashed some Vertigo prog rarities. One makes the list for the second week. This from a band called Ben, so obscure that neither Jane or I know this record. As the saying goes, "no one knows every record."

2. 78 - Robert Johnson "Kind Hearted Woman Blues" / "Terraplane Blues" Vocalion 03416 - $3,428.92
