So for the third year doing the annual Top Sellers list on or around Record Store Day it is again The Beatles at the top, this time with the original UK pressing of "Please Please Me", stereo release. The last two years it was White Albums #0000005 and #0000006.

The Beatles are all over the list at the top in six out of twelve months, not counting the "King Of Fuh" novelty 45 which was released on Apple, and if memory serves was produced by George Harrison, with a nudge from John Lennon who thought the song was funny.

The Northern Soul 45 by J D Bryant was the only non-Beatle record to break the $10k mark last year. It seems this last year was more subdued, with nothing on eBay reaching the $30k realms of the two prior years. A nod should be given here to John Manship and the J Frank Wilson test press 45 auction on his website that went for more than $50k. BTW, I met the guy Manship got that record from in Los Angeles, ohhhhh if I had only been a few years quicker!

And, for sake of completeness, I should point out that if you dig through this blog and find the "Please Please Me" that closed for $36k, I confirmed the winning bid was bogus.

So all things considered, the current economic state here in the US and the UK (whose collecters seem to have deeper pockets and/or deeper compulsions) has not hit the record collecting market all that hard. The lowest selling price for a monthly Top Seller last year was for my favorite 45, The Mixed Feelings "Sha La La" at a little less than $5k.

So, anyone up for a nice wicked inflationary spiral?
