5. ?????

Top 4 this week as the original #1 disappeared off of eBay's history which usually means there was something very "unreal" about the sale. And, I'm getting behind so I was not able to determine what was the new #5.

The disappearance of a Rolling Stone's 45 from the #1 spot gives it to the first Hip-Hop 12" making the #1 spot - Kool D.J. A.J.'s 12" selling for over $3.7k. In the #2 spot, a rare blues 78 sells for over $3.2k.

Next, a picture disc of Pink Floyd's "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" bids past $3.1k. And last in the #4 spot, a rare self titled Jazz record from Helen Merrill sells a hair over $2k.
