Revilot 208 Jackey Beavers I Need My Baby. Why so rare?
The airplay was one station 90 miles from Detroit? The exposure was brief. I guess it had other minor plays on other local stations but I would also imagine the amount of records released locally not to mention nationally at the time was huge and maybe it just got lost amongst them all? Promotion or lack of it was probably a factor too?

May have been eBay that was said, not discogs although someone has done the entry for the RSD release on discogs

Carol & Gerri
There is a recording by Carol & Sherry on MGM (K13308). Carole Bayer Sager & Sherry N. Harway. I've messaged Carole, see if she replies.

Carol & Gerri
I spent a few hours one day trying to find some info, not a sniff. Carole Bayer Sager can be contacted easy enough via her website and Gerri sounds nothing like Gerri Diamond to these ears, she can also be contacted easy enough too.

Discogs 30 High Flyers February 2018
Never had a problem, bought and sold plenty. Just check the feedback like you would ebay. The vast majority are honest and reputable but like any market place there are also thieves and scammers. If younuse paypla you won’t have a problem getting your money back and discogs themselves are usually quick to act and pretty good Many of the old ebay sellers have gone to discogs as have many dealers. First place that comes up on a search and the biggest market place now.

Kent Anniversary 45's
No extra copies, if anything probably less than there used to be. Just demand as Mick says. Quite a few of the releases can be got for 50 quid or less, others that are no Northern classics are 100 plus.

It didn’t think it was mega rare, copies well into double figures? Especially going by the chat elsewhere. Still rare mind.

Poll: Cd Buying in 2018
Too much good stuff on cds for them to be ignored. Unissued etc from the likes of Ace/Kent and other such companies. Some quality new stuff too, I prefer hard copy if possible rather than a download or streaming.

how-to tell original records
Get your hands dirty as they say, look at everything on the label and in the run out grooves, discogs and 45cat can help with identification as do many other places. Forums are very good for asking questions, no matter how daft they seem, not just here but facebook especially has some excellent informative groups and instagram is getting more and more popular. Many collectors with a vast amount of knowledge who are more than happy.

What’s the biggest track playing out at the moment
Certainly not mate. Just saying that it isn't just the mainstream that is years behind and that most of the big records have been around for many years now. The biggest tracks are the ones that have been popular for some years on both sides of the 60s/northern scene. I heard newer stuff at the weekend and they clear the floor even though they are/were IMO better dancers. So in answer to the original question the biggest records are still the same ones as before.
