Bang-A-Boomerang by Abba
April 21, 2023 05:26 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 3310 Year: 1976 Condition: M Price: $11.00 It's amazing to think that Abba was overflowing with so many hummable tuney-tune-tunes in the mid-1970's that they could afford to throw away catchy nuggets like "Bang-A-Boomerang" on their singles' B sides. If you're an Abba Resister, this won't matter a whit to you, but if you've already succumbed, you now have a reason to turn all your singles over and listen again to those B sides. :-) This, by the way, was the group's fourth ...
Let The Music Play by Shannon
April 20, 2023 05:25 - 391 KBLabel: Mirage 99810 Year: 1983 Condition: M- Last Price: $8.50. Not currently available for sale. An essential post-Disco classic from 1983. If this don't get you movin', you're dead! Flip is a shorter (3:48) 'Dub' version of the song. The label notes that all instruments are played by Rob Kilgore. Collector Nerd Alert: The album version is shorter, at 3:34, but the album also has a "Remix" version at 6:03... I suspect this is a specially edited version of that. Note: This beautiful copy ...
I Wanna Be A Cowboy by Boys Don't Cry
April 19, 2023 05:47 - 391 KBLabel: Profile 5084 Year: 1986 Condition: M Last Price: $9.00. Not currently available for sale. From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Profile factory sleeve. Essential mid-1980s techno dance pop, served up with a dollop of quirky humor. Flip is an instrumental version. This 45 has a dramatically edited version of the 6:05 album track. Note: The labels are graded Near Mint to reflect very light storage wear; the wax and audio are pristine Mint.
Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh
April 16, 2023 13:41 - 391 KBLabel: Dunhill/ABC 4361 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. Essential classic Rock. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Dunhill/ABC Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.
Rocky Mountain High by John Denver
April 16, 2023 09:42 - 391 KBLabel: RCA 0829 Year: 1972 Condition: M- Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale. If you have room for only one John Denver single in your collection, please make it this one! Truly sublime. And this copy has precisely what you want when taking it in: Crystal clear audio. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve. The audio is very close to Mint.
Mind Over Matter (I'm Gonna Make You Mine) by Nolan Strong and the Diablos
April 14, 2023 14:37 - 391 KBLabel: Fortune 546 Year: 1962 Condition: M- Price: $48.00 This is one of those amazing recordings that shows a group halfway between doo-wop and soul. Essential music! As Dave Marsh notes in his writeup on the song, the song is important because it provides a clear prophecy of "Keith Richards' guitar style, circa December's Children." Once you listen to the snippet a few times, you gotta admit it's kind of spooky! Note that the label only credits Nolan Strong. Note: This beautiful copy o...
I Got You (I Feel Good) by James Brown
April 14, 2023 14:11 - 391 KBLabel: King 6015 Year: 1965 Condition: M- Last Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale. Finally found another nice, Near Mint copy of this James Brown classic, which both Rolling Stone and Dave Marsh place high on their respective "best" lists. Note: This copy comes in a vintage King/Federal Records factory sleeve.The Near Mint labels have a little wear around the edges on the A side. The vinyl looks Near Mint as well, and the audio sounds pristine Mint. (This scan is a representativ...
Think by Aretha Franklin
April 14, 2023 13:45 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 2518 Year: 1968 Condition: M- Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale. Here's a beautiful copy of one of Aretha's very best — and hardest-to-find — singles. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl exhibit light signs of prior use, grading Near Mint. The grooves preserve pristine Mint sound... a real treat! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
I Like Everything About You by Four Tops
April 14, 2023 13:43 - 391 KBLabel: Motown 1096 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale. Be sure to check out the terrific Holland-Dozier-Holland song/production on the B side! Have a listen to our mp3 "snippet". Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Motown "the big sound" factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.
Hold Back The Rain by Duran Duran
April 12, 2023 06:32 - 391 KBLabel: Capitol 5215 Year: 1983 Condition: M- Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale. This single is an interesting case—as well as great music! These tunes were first released on Harvest 5175 in late 1982, and then re-released in 1983 on Capitol, when "Rio" hit #14p in April. What's particularly interesting is that the two singles had two different mixes/edits of each song! The Harvest single had "Hold Back The Rain" on the A side in a shorter edit than the one here (and on the...
The World I Know by Collective Soul
April 12, 2023 05:41 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 87088 Year: 1995 Condition: M Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale. Essential 1990s Rock! The record looks new and unplayed, with the only flaw on the vinyl being some fading in one area that does not effect the Mint audio
Let's Get Lost On A Country Road by Kit Kats
April 10, 2023 05:41 - 391 KBLabel: Jamie Golden Hits 909 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $7.00 Originally released on Jamie 1326. This out-of-print reissue has two of the group's very best sunshine pop singles, both as the Kit Kats and later as the New Hope. "Country Road" is as quirky as it is rare... with moments of silliness interspersed with moments of pure angelic bliss. And that chorus! Hmmm.... Note: This copy has an "F" inked on the labels (not shown in the scan).
Bad Side of the Moon by Elton John
April 09, 2023 07:02 - 391 KBLabel: Uni 55246 Year: 1970 Condition: M Price: $16.00 This is a like-new stock copy, in its original Uni Records factory sleeve. This was John's first U.S. chart single, though it barely scraped the top 100. Aretha Franklin's cover did much better. Also note the very powerful rocker on the B side with great orchestration by Paul Buckmaster; this is a non-LP cut... the first of many to be featured on Elton John 45's. This song did, however, appear on John's 1971 live album, 11/17/70.
Only You Know And I Know by Dave Mason
April 09, 2023 06:59 - 391 KBLabel: Blue Thumb 114 Year: 1970 Condition: M- Last Price: $13.50. Not currently available for sale. Here's a beautiful copy of Dave Mason's first chart single... hard to believe it failed to crack the U.S. Top 40, it's such a classic track! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of this great recording. Note: This copy's labels have no notable flaws, grading Mint. The vinyl (styrene) grades Near Mint with some light scuffing. The audio itself sounds pristine, with no distortion or surface noise!
7 and 7 Is by Love
April 07, 2023 13:58 - 391 KBLabel: Elektra 45605 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $35.00 Incredible Psychedelic Rock... It just doesn't get any darker or more dangerous than this! Check out the mp3 "snippet"! By the way, the B side is a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with a drillhole. Although the vinyl has some notable scuffing, grading EX in appearance, I'm delighted to say that the audio hardly suffers, grading close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
I Want You Back by Jackson 5
April 05, 2023 13:58 - 391 KBLabel: Motown 1157 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale. Even Michael Jackson's detractors must admit he was unbelievably talented. Witness this, the greatest of all Jackson 5 singles, as well as their first, and the first of four consecutive #1 hits over the course of the next 10 months. All of this success falling squarely on the back of little 11-year-old Michael. What a talent! Of course, whoever is doing honors on the piano and guitar ain't half ...
See Me, Feel Me/ Overture From Tommy by Who
April 05, 2023 05:51 - 391 KBLabel: MCA 60106 Year: 1970 Condition: M Last Price: $9.00. Not currently available for sale. Originally released on Decca 32729. This is the out-of-print mid-1970's repressing on MCA. I'm putting a snippet of both tracks into the jukebox, partly in honor of the band's recent recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, accepted by the two surviving members, Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend. The A side snippet shines with a rock'n'roll majesty that just isn't heard today, and the snippet from the...
I Melt With You by Modern English
August 10, 2022 13:09 - 391 KBLabel: Sire 29775 Year: 1983 Condition: M Price: $15.00 "Melt" is one of the quintessential recordings of the early 1980s British New Wave. Though it failed to get much airplay here when first released, it had a second life in 1990 when re-released on the TVT label. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear it. By the way, this release has a specially edited version of a 4:10 album track. Note: This copy has light storage wear that lowers the Label grade to Near Mint. The wax and audio are...
Jack Rabbit - Whenever You're Ready (We'll Go Steady Again) by Elton John
August 07, 2022 14:17 - 391 KBLabel: MCA 40105 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Last Price: $11.00. Not currently available for sale. One of Elton John's finest rockers, "Saturday Night's Alright" was the first single from his double-album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It was released a couple of months before the album, which is why there's no mention of it on the 45 label. I guess this actually qualifies as an EP since the B side has two—count 'em TWO—songs, both unreleased non-LP cuts and both well worth the price of admission! ...
Cosmic Sea by Mystic Moods
August 07, 2022 14:13 - 391 KBLabel: WB 7686 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Last Price: $50.00. Not currently available for sale. This wonderful recording is hard to describe... part Funk, part Psychedelic Rock, part Soul. The studio group had many albums but only one chart single. This one probably failed to chart because it doesn't fit any genre neatly. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It looks very close to Mint (Labels, Vinyl), and the grooves preserve gorgeous, pristine M...
Vacation by Go-Go's
August 04, 2022 05:00 - 391 KBLabel: I.R.S. 9907 Year: 1982 Condition: M Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale. 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 Label grade to Near Mint. The wax and audio are pristine, and the picture sleev...
Blanket On The Ground by Billie Jo Spears
August 03, 2022 06:03 - 391 KBLabel: UA 584 Year: 1975 Condition: M Last Price: $7.50. Not currently available for sale. Here's a new, unplayed copy of Spears' biggest Country hit, which I liked so much I quickly made an mp3 "snippet" of it... so have a listen! Note: This copy comes in a vintage United Artists Records factory sleeve.
Jump by Kris Kross
August 03, 2022 05:19 - 391 KBLabel: Columbia 74197 Year: 1992 Condition: M- Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale. Kris Kross were a rap duo from Atlanta: Chris "Mack Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mack" Smith. They were 14 and 15 when this catchy track was recorded. The A side is a "Radio Edit" of the 3:15 LP cut. The song isn't shorter than the LP cut, so the "Radio Edit" label must indicate a remix. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pr...
Dirty Water by Standells
July 31, 2022 13:55 - 391 KBLabel: Tower 185 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 An essential garage rock classic from this bad-boy Boston band.

It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
Peace Of Mind by Boston
July 30, 2022 14:06 - 391 KBLabel: Epic 50381 Year: 1977 Condition: M- Last Price: $8.00. Not currently available for sale. The A side of this essential Boston single is a specially edited version of a 4:55 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint audio.
Show Biz Kids by Steely Dan
July 30, 2022 13:55 - 391 KBLabel: ABC 11382 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale. One of the best early Steely Dan numbers, this is a great, specially edited version of the 5:21 LP cut. Check out our jukebox "snippet" of it. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage ABC/Dunhill Records factory sleeve. It has light storage wear on the Labels and Vinyl, which grade Near Mint. The audio sounds pristine.
Chain Gang by Sam Cooke
July 28, 2022 14:24 - 391 KBLabel: RCA 7783 Year: 1960 Condition: M- Price: $40.00 Here's a beautiful copy of this early Sam Cooke classic... one of the nicest I've had in the store since opening in 2001! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to recall what a great tune this is. It comes in a Near Mint copy of the release's cool picture sleeve. Note: The 45 itself grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The picture sleeve has no ringwear on one side but a significant amount on the other.
Wild Wild Life by Talking Heads
July 27, 2022 13:34 - 391 KBLabel: Sire 28629 Year: 1986 Condition: M Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. Quirky as always, both musically and lyrically, this taut construct shows just how good this band was at building catchy rock tunes and at celebrating the elusive "wild life," a recurring theme in their songs. The B side is a non-album cut — the "movie version" of a song that, like the A side, is from the gr...
The You I Need by Tommy Roe
July 24, 2022 14:33 - 391 KBLabel: ABC 11164 Year: 1969 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 ABC Records factory sleeve. This single's B side is further proof that Tommy Roe was so prolific and tuneful that he was able to throw away little gems like this on his singles' B sides! Really quite yummy... have a listen! Note: This beautiful copy has nearly pristine labels and vinyl, held back from a Mint grade by very l...
I Could Be So Good To You by Don & The Goodtimes
July 24, 2022 14:06 - 391 KBLabel: Epic 10145 Year: 1967 Condition: M- Price: $18.00 Both sides of this single are terrific, tuneful mid-1960s Sunshine Pop. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (labels, Vinyl, Audio).
Light Bulb Blues by Shadows of Knight
July 24, 2022 14:02 - 391 KBLabel: Dunwich 122 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 The B side of this single is even better than the A side... great, dirty Garage Rock (it's the B side that earns two stars from us). Take a listen! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic/Atco Records factory sleeve. Its labels grade Mint in appearance. The vinyl and audio grade very close to Mint.
Tired Of Toein' The Line by Rocky Burnette

Johnny Burnette's kid may have made only one classic 45, but it's still a joy to hear more than 35 years down the road! By the way, this single's B side is a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
Happiness by Len Barry
July 22, 2022 13:53 - 391 KBLabel: Decca 31889 Year: 1966 Condition: M Price: $15.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. The A side is a great "1-2-3" sound-alike that's well worth owning... and the flip is another one of those little B-side nuggets that's truly something special! Between those Latin congas, the great horn bits, and Barry's over-the-top singing, you can't help but smile and tap your feet. Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading...
Wanted, $10,000.00 Reward by Ernie K-Doe
July 22, 2022 13:21 - 391 KBLabel: Minit 623 Year: 1961 Condition: M- Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale. This is a beautiful first-pressing copy on the orange Minit label (plays normally, at 45 rpm; collector nerd alert: a rare mis-pressing plays at 33 rpm)... one of the nicest I've yet had in the store since opening in 2001. Yes, "Mother-in-Law" deserves to be on Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles, and it's one of the late, great New Orleans musical genius Allen Toussaint's biggest hit...
Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste Of Honey
July 21, 2022 13:55 - 391 KBLabel: Capitol 4565 Year: 1978 Condition: M Price: $9.00 Essential Disco... Remember that guitar? That break? Always great to hear this one again!

Route 66-Behind The Wheel by Depeche Mode
July 20, 2022 13:52 - 391 KBLabel: Sire 27991 Year: 1988 Condition: M Price: $15.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This single has two versions of this track... a 45 radio remix/edit of a 5:17 album track, and the medley version, which is the side that got airplay at the time. The terrific medley with "Route 66" was a non-album track.
True Blue by Madonna
July 20, 2022 13:15 - 391 KBLabel: Sire 28591 Year: 1986 Condition: M Price: $20.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. Dave Marsh was right to give this great Madonna hit such a high ranking in his list of the 1001 greatest singles every made... it's a perfect pop confection and a gorgeous blend of 1980's dance rock and 1960's girl group rock. This is the limited-edition pressing on clear blue vinyl. The picture sleeve is also distinguished from the black-vinyl r...
Frankenstein by The Edgar Winter Group
July 16, 2022 12:14 - 391 KBLabel: Epic 10967 Year: 1973 Condition: M Last Price: $12.50. Not currently available for sale.

Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.

July 14, 2022 14:08 - 391 KBLabel: Bell 672 Year: 1967 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 Wow! The A side is a decent cover of the Jerry Butler & Impressions classic, but wait'll you get a load of the powerhouse on the B side! Talk about a dance master... you'll have 'em up on the floor in no time flat. Check out the mp3 "snippet"! Note: This beautiful copy has two small drillholes and comes in a vintage Bell Records factory sleeve. The vinyl grades very close to Mint in appearance, and the powerful audio is stone Mint!
The House on Soul Hill by Baby Ray
July 14, 2022 14:04 - 391 KBLabel: Imperial 66216 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 To understand why this terrific single is so sought-after (and hard to find!), check out the mp3 "snippet" for the B side (which by the way isn't available through iTunes or other online services for some reason): "House on Soul Hill" is one for the ages! Note: This copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Imperial Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl, and the audio sounds pristine. (This scan is a represen...
The Who Who Song by Jackie Wilson
July 14, 2022 13:59 - 391 KBLabel: Brunswick 55354 Year: 1967 Condition: M Price: $25.00 This single has two terrific uptempo sides, but it's the B side ("Who Who") that really grabbed my attention on first listening.

It's Over by Boz Scaggs
July 10, 2022 18:06 - 391 KBLabel: Columbia 10319 Year: 1976 Condition: M Last Price: $9.00. Not currently available for sale. From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Columbia factory sleeve. If Boz Scaggs had never made another record in his life, his legacy would be assured by this one alone. It was the first single from his classic Silk Degrees album, but was pretty much ignored until the followup singles—"Lowdown" and "Lido Shuffle"—made Scaggs a household name. Those other songs...

July 09, 2022 14:00 - 391 KBLabel: 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).
Hallelujah I Love Her So by Ray Charles

June 30, 2022 13:54 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 2765 Year: 1970 Condition: M- Price: $18.00 The amazing rhythm section on this track deserves two stars (our highest recommendation) all by itself!

It looks Near Mint (Labels, Vinyl), and the powerful audio sounds pristine Mint.
What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
June 30, 2022 13:47 - 391 KBLabel: Tamla 54201 Year: 1971 Condition: M- Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale. This was Marvin Gaye's first single after asserting creative control over his recorded work. What most don't realize is that the 45 rpm release was a different mix than the 3:51 LP cut... and different from what you find on today's stereo reissues. The drums and percussion are mixed much more prominently, while the strings are toned down. The single edits out the jive talk at the beginning of ...
Back Stabbers by O'Jays
June 30, 2022 13:34 - 391 KBLabel: Phil. Int. 3517 Year: 1972 Condition: M Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale. From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory Philadelphia Int'l Records sleeve. Note: This 45 record has "oldie" written on the labels, which are otherwise Mint. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio is pristine Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; the word "oldie" appears to the left of the logo in script.)
Bang On The Drum All Day by Todd Rundgren
June 27, 2022 13:26 - 391 KBLabel: 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! :-)
Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison
June 26, 2022 14:10 - 391 KBLabel: Monument 851 Year: 1964 Condition: M- Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale. Both sides of this classic 45 are credited to Roy Orbison and The Candy Men. It's worth noting that this single is on both the Dave Marsh (#39) and Rolling Stone magazine's (#224) "top 45s" lists. An essential single for a complete collection, for sure ... and this is perhaps the nicest, reference-Mint copy I've run across yet. This copy's audio is so gorgeous I had to make an mp3 file for the ...
