This week is almost all 45's on the eBay Top 5. A "sample", or promo, copy of Elvis' "That's All Right" 45 on the Sun label makes the top spot this week. Next, coming just under $2k, is a Northern Soul 45 by Vicki Styles. A European 45 of The Beatles "Noregian Wood" gets the #3 spot. This record had been distributed as part of a mail order promotion. In the #4 spot comes a one of a kind test pressing 7" record from Anthony Ellis. And the only LP to make the list, a Beatles butcher cover gets just under $1.5k and the #5 spot.

#4 is not a one-off test pressing. It was common practice to release Jamaican 45s on a blank label to gauge public interest in the song. It was also a way to charge premium prices on the "new" songs being released.
