The honor of our top seller for the month of September 2010 belongs to Led Zeppelin, with their “Road Box” Test Pressing collecting a cool $6,100 (another sold for $3,500). Next up are a self-titled LP from Madigral going for an even $5,100, followed by a Mark Everett album which sold at $5,000.
An Odeon labeled copy of "Yellow Submarine" from the lads from Liverpool sold for almost $5k, about half what it sold for sometime around 2003. The other two Beatles entries to the list are the very familiar LP by the Beatles, 'Please Please Me' Parlophone' (UK Gold Black label 1st Mono), one which sold for a shade under four grand and the other coming in at around $2,500.
