Record Collecting Update Week Ending 06/23/2007



Here are recipes for crow. It was an amazing week with two one-of-a-kind vinyl treasures selling above $10k. I believed the Sex Pistols had a shot at overtaking the Beatles, but of course fate never shows the good taste it should, and the Beatles White Album #0000006 sold for $21,411.15 with 74 bids from a starting bid of $1452.34. The Sex Pistols "God Save The Queen" promo 45 sold for $11,798.00 with 22 bids from a starting bid of $1025.00.

The graph above shows sales of White Albums numbered less than 100 over the past four years. Two selling points of this record were first that it came from the collection of John Lennon's former limo driver. And second, it was sold by Beatles expert Perry Cox, so one can be as sure as sure can be that the record indeed came from the afore mentioned limo driver.

The top Northern Soul 45 sale of the week went to a Sandy Golden 45, "Your Love Is Everything" / "When We're All Alone Tonight" on Masterpiece. The record sold for $6100 with 7 bids from a starting bid of $2688.99.

Also of note, a Led Zeppelin withdrawn 45 from Japan sold on a Buy-It-Now for $6000.00.
