Record Collecting Update Week Ending 07/14/2007




I could take this week's results as an opportunity to be very ugly to Beatles records, but as my record collecting update is a post about what has sold rather than what has not sold, I'm going to pass. And feature the mass of unsold Butcher covers, low numbered White Albums and mono Beatles' records that got not one single bid in a follow-up post in the next few days.

So - on to what's real in the record collecting market this week. First, a Northern Soul 45 RPM record topped the list. Billy Woods "That Was The Love That Was" / "Let Me Make You Happy" on the Sussex label sold for $5750.00 with 19 bids from a starting bid of $300.00. No other sale of this record has been recorded in the last four years.

78 RPM records are continuing to show respectable results. A Robert Johnson 78 record on Vocalion, "Malted Milk" / "Milkcow Calf's Blues", sold for $4350.00 from a starting bid of $222.00, receiving 20 bids.

Another Northern Soul 45 record showed up in the #3 spot, Dennis Edwards "Johnnie On The Spot" / "I Didn't Have To" on the International Soulville label, sold for $3383.33 with 22 bids from a starting bid of $499.99.

Just behind Dennis Edwards by less than a dollar, Shubert's "Complete Works For Violin And Piano" with Michèle Auclair and Geneviève Joy performing sold for $3383.00. This is an extremely rare French pressing on Erato, and this particular 2LP set was a promotional issue. The record received 20 bids from a starting bid of $388.00.

And the #5 spot goes to yet another Northern Soul 45. This record was by Mr. Soul (Al Scott), on Genuine Records, containing "What Happened To Yesterday" / "You're Too Good". The record sold for $3300.00 with 21 bids from a starting bid of $198.00.
