- 3543 - Mother And Child Reunion by Paul Simon
Label: Columbia 45547
Year: 1972
Condition: M-
Price: $14.00
Paul Simon was one of the first non-Reggae artists to flirt with the reggae sound, and this is a damned good experiment, if you ask me! I'm always shocked to hear the incredibly powerful Stereo mix that they pressed these 7-inch releases with: Loud is simply not sufficient to describe the enormity of what's in these little grooves. The mp3 snippet I've provided doesn't do it justice, but hopefully you'll get the idea. :-) Collector nerd alert: This is the original release on the red/orange Columbia label. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has very nearly Mint labels, and the audio sounds pristine Mint!Sun, 05 May 2024 - 3542 - Instant Karma (We All Shine On) by John Lennon
Label: Apple 1818
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Price: $14.00
Here's a beautiful copy of John Lennon's third solo single, which, as a marvelous article in Wikipedia points out, was one of the fastest records ever to be written, recorded, pressed, and shipped to market -- reportedly in only 10 days. It's also one of Lennon's very best solo recordings, though it (and the two singles that preceded it) never appeared on a Lennon studio album (they did appear on a later compilation LP). The drumming is simply out of this world, and turns out to be by future Yes drummer Alan White. That's Billy Preston on the keyboards, and George Harrison on guitar. The flip is "Who Has Seen The Wind" by Yoko. I'm putting a snippet that contains some of the best drumming bits in the jukebox... just can't ever hear that break enough! Note: This copy comes in a vintage Apple Records factory sleeve. This copy's labels and audio are very close to Mint, and the vinyl looks untouched.Sun, 05 May 2024 - 3541 - They're Gonna Get You by Count Five
Label: Double Shot 104
Year: 1966
Condition: M-
Price: $18.00
This is one of the essential singles in the history of psychedelic rock. The flip is terrific too... I wonder how they got so paranoid? This is the first pressing, with the label name at the top of the label. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) looks pretty scuffed up, grading only EX, but the grooves preserve undistorted sound that grades close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Fri, 03 May 2024 - 3540 - Him Or Me - What's It Gonna Be? by Paul Revere & the Raiders
Label: Columbia 44094
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.
One of my personal favorite Raiders tracks... sadly, one you don't hear often enough. This copy comes in an original picture sleeve. Note: The 45 record itself has pristine Mint sound. The sleeve has notable top-edge wear on one side, with a series of tiny tears.Fri, 03 May 2024 - 3539 - Someone's Coming by Who
Label: Decca 32362
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $32.00
This is a particularly nice copy of this especially great Who single. Besides the classic A side that everyone knows and loves, you get a superfine, quite catchy Entwistle rocker that hardly anyone knows on the flip side. Check it out! Note: This copy comes in a vintage Decca Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have a drillhole.)Fri, 03 May 2024 - 3538 - Streets of Bakersfield by Dwight Yoakam & Buck Owens
Label: Reprise 27964
Year: 1988
Condition: M
Price: $12.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This great duet with Buck Owens -- a tribute to Owens' classic "Bakersfield" style of country music -- became Yoakam's first #1 country hit. Note: This 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless.Thu, 02 May 2024 - 3537 - I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby by Barry White
Label: 20th Century 2018
Year: 1973
Condition: M
Price: $14.00
This is a beautiful Mint copy of Barry White's first smash hit single, which even today remains one of the sexiest dance tunes ever recorded. My wife and I just started dancing to it, and it was an extreme effort to get back to work and write this down. *Whew* This single has a specially edited version of a 7:20 album track. (The mp3 "snippet" I felt compelled to make... just don't hear it often enough! ... is a further editing of the spoken/instrumental intro, in order to get to the end of the first chorus without making the file too large... B.W. please forgive. :-)). Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and pristine sound.Wed, 01 May 2024 - 3536 - I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why) by Alabama
Label: RCA 62336
Year: 1992
Condition: M
Price: $8.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original RCA factory sleeve. One of my personal favorite Alabama songs... I can really relate! It's hard to slow down, but you gotta do it from time to time, or "Life's no fun..." :-) This 45 is pressed on translucent black vinyl.Wed, 01 May 2024 - 3535 - Let's Pretend by Raspberries
Label: Capitol 3546
Year: 1973
Condition: M
Price: $20.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy in its original picture sleeve. This is one of only two Raspberries singles that Capitol decorated with a picture sleeve... the other being their first chart single, which failed pretty miserably (peak: #86). The cool thing about the "Let's Pretend" sleeve, though, isn't the great band-member photos on the back, it's the rather incredible promotion taking place on the front!You can't read the small print in the accompanying scan, but basically, this was a contest to win a Raspberries "Rollswagen"--a Volkswagen Beetle decked out to look like a Rolls! There are oodles of time-capsule-worthy notes on the front, but my favorites are the following two "Far-Out Features":
Quadrasonic 8-Track Stereo System! Outasight sound with 4 speakers by Car Tapes, Inc., of CaliforniaA Complete Library of 100 Capitol 8-Track Cartridges! Includes Beatles! Helen Reddy! Rick Springfield! Leon Russell! Many more favorites!By the way, this single is specially edited from a longer (3:42) album track.Wed, 01 May 2024 - 3534 - The Joker by The Steve Miller Band
Label: Capitol 3732
Year: 1973
Condition: M
Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
Here's a beautiful Mint copy of Steve Miller's first big pop hit, which I just don't hear often enough... so I've made an mp3 "snippet" for our online "jukebox"... Enjoy! This single has a specially edited version of the 4:26 album cut. Note: This 45 comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Tue, 30 Apr 2024 - 3533 - Teacher Teacher by Rockpile
Label: Columbia 11388 dj
Year: 1980
Condition: M
Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original factory sleeve. This is one of two great, hard-to-find singles released from the Rockpile album Seconds of Pleasure. Rockpile was a band formed by Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Of the two singles, this was the first, and also the only one that charted. This promo has the same Stereo version on both sides. Despite a couple of marks on one side, the grooves retain pristine Mint audio.Tue, 30 Apr 2024 - 3532 - Jolene by Dolly Parton
Label: RCA Victor 0145 dj
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $40.00
One of the best songs of Parton's long career, and further evidence that she's one of the best country songwriters of all time -- and the best female songwriter for sure. Note: This promo copy comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve. The A label has light ringwear. The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the powerful audio is pristine Mint.Sun, 28 Apr 2024 - 3531 - Every Breath I Take by Gene Pitney
Label: Musicor 1011
Year: 1961
Condition: M-
Price: $40.00
Here's a beautiful original pressing of this early Pitney/Spector masterpiece of doo-wop-style pop craft, in a Near Mint copy of the release's striking picture sleeve (see scan). (This is the second pressing on the tan/black Musicor label; first pressings are on the gray label.) Besides Pitney's performance, of course, what makes this recording truly special is Phil Spector's production chops -- one of his earliest "Wall of Sound" efforts. (He also produced the Pitney-penned flip.) Add to that the stunning music and lyrics by Gerry Goffin & Carole King, and you have the makings of a pop masterpiece. Note: The 45 itself has Mint labels, and the audio grades very close to Mint despite some light scuffing on the surface.Sat, 27 Apr 2024 - 3530 - Our Corner of the Night by Barbra Streisand
Label: Columbia 44474
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00
This Northern Soul number is truly a remarkable outing for Streisand... Not the sound she's best known for, but certainly pleasing! Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it. By the way, the tracks appeared on no Streisand album at the time, making this a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It looks Near Mint and has pristine Mint sound.Thu, 25 Apr 2024 - 3529 - Yester Love by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
Label: Tamla 54167
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $12.00
This is one of those lesser-known Miracles tunes that deserves better... Some folks may associate it with Stevie Wonder's relatively dreadful "Yester-You, Yester-Me...", but it shares nothing with that single but one word in the title. Credited to Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Thu, 25 Apr 2024 - 3528 - Heart by Rockpile
Label: Columbia 60503 dj
Year: 1980
Condition: M
Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
This is one of two great, hard-to-find singles released from the Rockpile album Seconds of Pleasure. Rockpile was a band formed by Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Despite a couple of small, light scuff marks, the grooves retain pristine Mint audio.Thu, 25 Apr 2024 - 3527 - Don't Ever Let Me Know by Bobby Fuller Four
Label: Mustang 3016
Year: 1966
Condition: M-
Price: $25.00
What a terrific single... not only do you get an amazing cover of a great Buddy Holly classic, but the self-penned flip is what Power Pop dreams are made of! This was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful 45 has Near Mint labels. The vinyl also looks Near Mint, and the powerful audio sounds almost pristine! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Wed, 24 Apr 2024 - 3526 - Oh Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison
Label: Monument 851
Year: 1964
Condition: M-
Price: $40.00
Both sides of this classic 45 record are credited to Roy Orbison and The Candy Men. This is a nearly pristine copy, one of the finest I've yet had in the store since opening in 2001! Note: This record comes in a vintage Monument Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.Wed, 24 Apr 2024 - 3525 - Tempted by Squeeze
Label: A&M 2345
Year: 1981
Condition: M-
Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is one of the essential Squeeze singles. Not only do you get the great A side featuring one of Paul Carrack's best vocals ever, but also a terrific, previously unreleased B side. Note that Elvis Costello was co-producer of these tracks. "Tempted" was one of many fine recordings from their top-notch LP, East Side Story. Though the group had been huge in their native U.K. for several years, that album was the first one to garner any attention State-side, and this was their first chart single here. (Though, oddly, it wasn't even released on 45 rpm in the U.K.!) The single has a slightly edited version of the 4:02 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in its gorgeous picture sleeve grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio)Tue, 23 Apr 2024 - 3524 - People's Parties by Joni Mitchell
Label: Asylum 11041
Year: 1974
Condition: M
Price: $15.00
The hit A side is a delightful pop tune, but the real treasure here is the B side. (Yes, it's another one of those!) If you've ever felt a little awkward and out of place at a party, you'll know just what she's talking about! One of Mitchell's very best pieces of pure poetry... have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear what I mean. It's also one of those very short songs I sing the praises of -- she sings an entire volume in under 2 1/2 minutes! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Asylum Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Sat, 20 Apr 2024 - 3523 - Promises by Eric Clapton
Label: RSO 1039
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Price: $10.00
This is a beatiful copy, in its original RSO factory sleeve. Credited to "Eric Clapton And His Band." Note: This beautiful 45 has a little "bubbling" on the labels, which separately grade Near Mint. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Sat, 20 Apr 2024 - 3522 - Girl U Want by Devo
Label: WB 49524 dj
Year: 1980
Condition: M
Price: $15.00
Stereo/Mono promo copy. This early single was released from the same album and just before their breakthrough hit, 'Whip It.' Though it didn't get much radio play at the time, it's definitely one of their 'greatest hits.' Note: This beautiful promo 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).Fri, 19 Apr 2024 - 3521 - Vacation by Go-Go's
Label: I.R.S. 9907
Year: 1982
Condition: M
Price: $14.00
This is simply one of the very best girl group songs of all time. Unlike their Sixties counterparts, though, these girls write their own songs, play their own electric guitars and drums, and sing about the lovelife of working girls who are way past sweet sixteen! Note: This copy has light storage wear that lowers the Vinyl grade to Near Mint. The labels and audio are pristine, and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Fri, 19 Apr 2024 - 3520 - Bang On The Drum All Day by Todd Rundgren
Label: Bearsville/Coll. 0330
Year: 1983
Condition: M
Price: $8.00
Originally released on Bearsville 29686. One of my wife's absolute favorites, it's gotta be in the Classic 45's jukebox! Seriously, if you don't know this one, you're missing out. Take one puff, and you'll be instantly hooked! :-) This is a new copy of the out-of-print Collectables reissue.Mon, 15 Apr 2024 - 3519 - Love Letters by Ketty Lester
Label: Era 3068
Year: 1962
Condition: M-
Last Price: $24.00. Not currently available for sale.
This gorgeous recording always gives me goose bumps, it's so powerful and such a great song and performance. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear what I mean. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Era Records factory sleeve. It grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).Sun, 14 Apr 2024 - 3518 - Liar, Liar by Castaways
Label: Soma 1433
Year: 1965
Condition: M-
Price: $22.00
Amazing to realize that these guys fit this garage classic into less than 2 minutes! Yet it's absolutely perfect even at 1:52. By the way, this was a non-album single, as the group made no albums. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) looks Near Mint as well, and the audio grades the same with almost no surface noise or other degradation.Fri, 12 Apr 2024 - 3517 - Mirror Of Your Mind by Joe South
Label: Capitol 2248
Year: 1969
Condition: M
Price: $15.00
On the B side of this classic hit is another reason why Joe South is so admired... here's a complex pop song that's part country, part soul, part psychedelic rock. Numerous tricky, interesting time changes and melodies make it a great find hidden on a B side. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).Fri, 03 May 2024 - 3516 - Still In Love With You Baby by Beau Brummels
Label: Autumn 8
Year: 1965
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
This is a beautiful copy of the group's first hit single. By the way, the flip side is incredibly strong... hard to say which side I like better! I'm putting the B side in the "jukebox," since it's likely that fewer of you have heard it. Enjoy! Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and nearly untouched-looking vinyl. The audio also grades close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Fri, 12 Apr 2024 - 3515 - Free & Red Hot (Part 1) by Shelly Black
Label: Vigor 1730 dj
Year: 1976
Condition: M-
Price: $12.00
Stereo/Mono promo copy. Talk about a sleeper! This under-appreciated 1976 gem was the only chart appearance (squeaking in at #95 on the Billboard Black/RnB Singles chart) for Ms. Black, who had an equally excellent followup single that likewise went nowhere in airplay and sales. I fell in love instantly and quickly put a snippet in the Classic 45s jukebox... Have a listen! Note: With pristine Mint labels, this beautiful copy's vinyl and audio aren't far from pristine. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this is the promo copy.)Wed, 10 Apr 2024 - 3514 - No Sad Songs by Joe Simon
Label: Sound Stage 7 2602
Year: 1968
Condition: M
Price: $15.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. Take a listen to this neglected classic, and tell me it doesn't make you wanna hear more of Mr. Simon's terrific 45's. What a great dancer!Tue, 09 Apr 2024 - 3513 - My Girl Has Gone by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
Label: Tamla 54123
Year: 1965
Condition: M
Price: $18.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy in its original factory sleeve. First issue, pristine mint! Some of these copies have a little wrinkling on the sleeve.Tue, 09 Apr 2024 - 3512 - When The Words From Your Heart Get Caught Up In Your Throat by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
Label: Tamla 54162
Year: 1967
Condition: M
Price: $15.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. Don't miss the terrific, neglected B side on this one!Tue, 09 Apr 2024 - 3511 - Night Train by James Brown
Label: Collectables 4273
Year: 1962
Condition: M
Price: $10.00
Originally released on King 5614. Following hot on the heels of the Mar-Keys' astonishing "Last Night" the year before, this recording was "instrumental" (sorry about that) in paving the way for the sound that became known as funk. With its staccato syncopated beats and short sharp strokes, "Night Train" was a major stepping stone in 1960's soul music. I'm putting a snippet of it in the jukebox not only because of its importance to rock'n'soul history, but also because, well, you just don't hear enough classic James Brown these days! This reissue, which has the gorgeous original Mono recordings of both of these essential James Brown tracks, is long out of print. This is a new, unplayed copy.Mon, 08 Apr 2024 - 3510 - Rock 'N' Roll Is King by Electric Light Orchestra
Label: Jet 03964
Year: 1983
Condition: M
Price: $10.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. One of Lynne's swan songs as ELO, this is also perhaps the group's very best rocker. Irresistible! This 45 has a slightly edited version of a 3:38 album track. On the B side is a non-album cut. Note: This copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).Sun, 07 Apr 2024 - 3509 - Zabadak by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich
Label: Imperial 66270
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $14.00
Here's a beautiful copy of one of this group's very best singles. The flip is a VERY strange psychedelic rock experiment.... The A side is just wonderfully strange. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Imperial Records factory sleeve. It has looks new, with Mint labels and vinyl. The audio is very close to Mint with no distortion. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Sat, 06 Apr 2024 - 3508 - San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native) by Fever Tree
Label: Uni 55060
Year: 1968
Condition: M
Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale.
Both sides of this great Psych Rock single are specially edited from longer album versions of 3:58 and 3:45, respectively. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of my favorite segment from the song, highlighting the incredible fuzz guitar bits. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Uni Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Sat, 06 Apr 2024 - 3507 - Where Were You When I Needed You by Grass Roots
Label: Dunhill 4029
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Price: $25.00
This is a beautiful copy of the Grass Roots' first hit single, which you'll note we award 2 stars ? our highest recommendation. That means we think that a collection of this genre of music (in this case, "Sunshine Pop" or even "Folk Rock") is incomplete without this single... it's essential! Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Dunhill Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl. The audio sounds pristine Mint! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)Sat, 06 Apr 2024 - 3506 - Solitary Man by Neil Diamond
Label: Bang 578
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
Does it strike you how often a singer's debut single turns out in retrospect to have been their greatest song, or at least one of their greatest? "Solitary Man" is not just a great song, it's a masterpiece in which Diamond writes of a personal pain in a way that makes it universal. Originally released as Diamond's first 45 on Bang 519, "Solitary Man" tanked on the National Billboard charts (reached only #55p) in 1966. This 1970 re-release did better, reaching #21 on the Billboard chart. Note: This beautiful copy has a Mint A-side label and Near Mint vinyl and audio.Sat, 06 Apr 2024 - 3489 - I'm A Man by Chicago
Label: Columbia 45467
Year: 1971
Condition: M-
Last Price: $11.00. Not currently available for sale.
These two great Chicago tunes have an interesting history as singles. "Questions" was the group's first single, released in 1969 on Columbia 44909, and it had a much longer version of the song than on later releases. That first single only climbed as high as #71 on the pop chart. The song was re-released in an edited version (one verse missing) on this single, backed by the group's dynamite cover of "I'm A Man", and finally made it to the Top 40 1971. This is that release, and a powerful two-sided hit it was (and remains)! By the way, "I'm A Man" is also a dramatically edited version of the 7-plus-minutes LP cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl grade very close to Mint in appearance, and the B side audio is pristine.Sat, 06 Apr 2024 - 3475 - Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard
Label: Mercury 870298
Year: 1988
Condition: M
Price: $20.00
The label indicates that the A side is edited from the album cut, but the difference is only 3 seconds; I suspect what is meant is that the 45 has a remixed version of the LP cut. Note: This beautiful copy has pristine audio. It comes in a nearly flawless picture sleeve.Wed, 03 Apr 2024
