Last year it was White Album #0000006, this year it's White Album #0000005 that makes the #1 top album sale on eBay, selling for $9k more than its predecessor at $30k. The first four White Albums were reportedly given to the Beatles themselves. Save for an acetate of "Carnival Of Light" showing up, its hard to imagine any Beatles vinyl artifact fetching more than these two White Albums.
Also worthy of notice is the first Hip Hop record to show up on the weekly Top 5, Kool D.J. A.J.'s "Ah, That's The Joint" also topped the month of June. Tool and Pavement, two bands who came into existence post Reagan administration, give this years list a touch of youth.
