Wall Street sucks, The City strains, but we got soul! The highest selling record of the year closes a dollar below $15.1k the week that the worlds economy chokes on its own vomit. As my grandmother used to say, "There'll always be somebody with money."

The top spot this week goes to 100 club member Junior McCants with his legendary "Try Me For Your New Love" King 45. The story, and those outside Northern Soul circles likely don't know it, is that Junior McCants died suddenly of a brian tumor, causing King to pull this record before it was ever released, it some years later becoming a club rarity.

Next, another Northern Soul 45 from The Primers gets a good price at over $5.3k. A jazz LP from Jakie McLean places in the #3 spot closing a dollar over $2.5k.

The Chantels "We Are The Chantels" LP bids up over $2.3k for the number 4 spot. On a Buy-It-Now, an Elvis Sun 45 sells for halfway over $2.1k and gets the number 5 spot.
