Episodes
Bang The Drum All Day by Todd Rundgren
March 23, 2022 13:22 - 391 KBLabel: Bearsville 29686 Year: 1983 Condition: M- Price: $10.00 This is a rare copy of the original U.S. release of this early 1980s neo-Rockabilly powerhouse. Note: This is a like-new copy with pristine Mint sound.
In The Time Of Our Lives by Iron Butterfly
March 20, 2022 12:50 - 391 KBLabel: Atco 6676 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Price: $16.00 This great psych-rock rarity is more evidence for the fact that the late 1960s was a very strange time indeed. Strange... but satisfying! This amazing track not only represents psychedelic rock in its finest tradition, but its audio experiments anticipate modern rock and its fuzz guitar breaks are nothing but heavy metal being formed. The flip side is also a fine prize. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory ...
You're The One by Buddy Holly
March 18, 2022 13:58 - 391 KBLabel: Coral 62558 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Price: $30.00 This is a beautiful copy of a single released in 1969 to commemorate Buddy Holly's untimely 1959 death. The audio is pristine Mint. I had first heard this lovely version many years ago on a U.K.-released double album set Buddy Holly: Legend. The liner notes to that album describe the track as follows: "Love Is Strange" was one of Buddy's favorite songs. The version he recorded was around a minute long and the track included here has...
Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes by Chuck Willis
March 18, 2022 13:16 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 1179 Year: 1958 Condition: M- Price: $35.00 This great single was released shortly after Willis' untimely death in April 1958, both presenting an eerie premonition of his demise. Both sides are great enough to make Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles ever made, with the flip side at #409 and the A side is at #384! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and very nearly Mint vinyl and audio.
Do I Do by Stevie Wonder
March 16, 2022 13:49 - 391 KBLabel: Tamla 1612 Year: 1982 Condition: M- Price: $8.00 This 45 has a dramatically edited version of the 10:27 album track. By the way, both this rarely heard single, and "That Girl" were non-album singles that were previously unreleased until gathered into Wonder's 2-album Greatest Hits compilation released in 1982. Note: This is the black-text version, not the version shown in the scan, which is a representative image from our archive.
Half A Minute by Matt Bianco
March 16, 2022 13:44 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 89427 dj Year: 1985 Condition: M Price: $15.00 This is a new, unplayed Stereo/Stereo promo copy, in its original Atlantic Group factory sleeve. From their debut album, this jazz-pop ensemble pulled off a great bit of Latin dance music with this 1985 single, which unaccountably got no airplay to speak of here in the States. Check out the mp3 "snippet" to find out if you like it as much as I did on first hearing.
Such A Feeling by Aurra
March 16, 2022 13:43 - 391 KBLabel: Salsoul 7043 Year: 1982 Condition: M- Last Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale. This was one of the group's bigger hits, and deservedly so. I was so taken with its propulsive rhythm section I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear... Enjoy! This hit version is specially edited from a longer (5:15) album track. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and pristine sound.
The Belle Of St. Mark by Sheila E.
March 16, 2022 13:35 - 391 KBLabel: WB 29180 Year: 1984 Condition: M Price: $10.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. One listen to the rhythm track for this irresistable pop/funk nugget, and you'll know that it's Prince driving those producer wheels. Given his equal genius with a catchy melody, what's surprising is that he didn't also write the song. According to the label, that terrific pop melody you hear is credited to Sheila E. alone, who also takes sole cred...
Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.) by Edwin Starr
March 13, 2022 15:36 - 391 KBLabel: Ric-Tic 109 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $40.00 Simply one of the greatest, most danceable Soul records ever made. It's also one of the few that appears on both the Dave Marsh and the Kev Roberts lists (it's the B side for Roberts' list). FYI, Starr's Ric-Tic output didn't made it to an album until a 1968 Gordy LP. Note: This beautiful copy has very light storage wear, and the grooves preserve nearly pristine Mint audio!
Love Ain't Love/ Forever Faithful by Florence Ballard
March 13, 2022 15:22 - 391 KBLabel: ABC 11144 Year: 1968 Condition: M- Last Price: $50.00. Not currently available for sale. Two stunning, uptempo Motown-style tracks courtesy of "Flo", who was one of the original Supremes. Note that the A side is one of Van McCoy's outstanding contributions to Northern Soul in the 1960s. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage ABC Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
No Turning Back by Shelly Black
March 03, 2022 13:36 - 391 KBLabel: Vigor 1736 dj Year: 1976 Condition: M Price: $25.00 This is a new, unplayed Stereo/Mono promo copy. Wow! Now here's a dance number I gotta hear over and over again... Find me a dance floor, somebody! Oh Shelly, where were you in 1976 when I needed you? "-) Incidentally, this was Black's followup single to her minor RnB hit, "Free & Red Hot." Those were her only two releases... no album. Note: This copy has light storage wear that lowers the Label grade to Near Mint. The wax and a...
Acka Ragh by Shocking Blue
March 03, 2022 04:50 - 391 KBLabel: Colossus 116 Year: 1970 Condition: M- Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale. Two terrific sides, including a very psychedelic, sitar-led instrumental on the flip. We give this single our highest rating — 2 stars — and that applies to both sides! Note: It has pristine Mint labels.
Lonely No More by Rob Thomas
February 26, 2022 05:16 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic/Melisma 93896 Year: 2005 Condition: M Price: $10.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. This remarkable single features the artist's two biggest-selling iTunes tracks... the B side is a bigger seller than the A side, though both are terrific and quite different. The B side is from his second album, while the decidedly funky A side is currently available only as a single. Note: This copy has light storage wear that lowers the Label grade to Near Mint. T...
You're Losing Me by Ann Sexton
February 26, 2022 05:13 - 391 KBLabel: Seventy-Seven 133 Year: 1973 Condition: M Price: $26.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. This was Sexton's biggest chart hit in the U.S.... must have been very disappointing to her fans, cause this lady's got gobs of talent that more people should have been exposed to. Two super Funky Soul rarities. I decided the groove on "You're Losing Me" was just too good to leave out of our mp3 "jukebox"... so have a listen! Note: The test copy from this batch of new, u...
Believe What You Say by Ricky Nelson
February 25, 2022 13:56 - 391 KBLabel: Imperial 5503 Year: 1958 Condition: M- Price: $40.00 It's true that Nelson was backed by one of the hottest Rockabilly bands around. This track is clear evidence! That guitar is Smokin! This is a beautiful copy on the black Imperial label, in a Near Mint picture sleeve. Note: This 45 has Mint labels with a small numbered sticker on the A side. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio is pristine Mint!
Since You've Been Gone by Mindbenders
February 19, 2022 14:25 - 391 KBLabel: Fontana 1503 Year: 1965 Condition: M Price: $20.00 Credited to Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders. Note that this is the first issue of the single with its original B side, a terrific uptempo number that could have been a hit in its own right. And guess what? That B side is a non-album cut! Note: This single has Mint-looking labels, and the vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched but for a few light scuffs on the B side. The audio is pristine Mint, both sides!
Boogie Chile by Frankie Floyd
February 17, 2022 13:59 - 391 KBLabel: IX Chains 7001 Year: 1974 Condition: M Last Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale. Well, try as I might, I couldn't find much information on the web about Frankie Floyd. So all I know is that he had this one kick-ass single. And man, am I glad I at least know that much now... Check out the mp3 "snippet"! The B side is another uptempo keeper. Note: This beautiful 45 has Mint labels and pristine sound.
Sweet Charlie Babe by Jackie Moore
February 17, 2022 13:47 - 391 KBLabel: Atlantic 2956 dj Year: 1973 Condition: M Price: $15.00 Stereo/Mono promo copy. An absolutely irresistable northern soul nugget from the early 1970's. Get a copy while it's still priced reasonably, before the Northern Soul movers and shakers realize not only what an essential Soul record this is, but how perfect it is for dancing! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
Swing Your Daddy by Jim Gilstrap
February 17, 2022 13:13 - 391 KBLabel: Roxbury 2006 Year: 1975 Condition: M- Price: $11.00 This is one of my personal favorites from mid-1970s Disco... just hearing those irresistible doop-bop's makes me want to get up and get down! :-) Note: This beautiful copy grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
Pop Goes The World by Men Without Hats
February 16, 2022 14:27 - 391 KBLabel: Mercury 888859 dj Year: 1987 Condition: M- Last Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale. Stereo/Stereo promo copy. Absolutely perfect pop confection... and also quite danceable! Note: This beautiful 45 record comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.
Tobacco Road by Nashville Teens
February 12, 2022 13:28 - 391 KBLabel: London 9689 Year: 1964 Condition: M- Last Price: $24.00. Not currently available for sale. Quintessential early hard-rock guitar intro... major fodder for the U.S. garage group movement. Check out the mp3 "snippet" to hear what I mean. Note: This beautiful copy has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl (styrene) and audio.
Dumplin's by Doc Bagby
February 11, 2022 15:01 - 391 KBLabel: Okeh 7089 Year: 1957 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 Terrific sax-led RnB rocker. Note: This beautiful copy grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
C'mon Everybody by Eddie Cochran
February 11, 2022 14:26 - 391 KBLabel: Liberty 55166 Year: 1958 Condition: M- Last Price: $50.00. Not currently available for sale. This is a beautiful copy of Eddie Cochran's second hit, a followup to "Summertime Blues." This is the first pressing, on the dark green Liberty label. The flip is a worthy ballad. This well mastered 45 has booming, pristine Mint sound. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Liberty Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint,with a faint stain where a small sticker was removed. The vinyl ma...
Race With The Devil by Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps
February 11, 2022 13:45 - 391 KBLabel: Capitol 3530 dj Year: 1956 Condition: M- Price: $85.00 It's quite rare to run across Gene Vincent singles in decent condition. I guess there are a lot of Rockabilly fans out there hoarding 'em. This is a beautiful promo copy of Vincent's excellent second single, which barely grazed the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. It was a non-album single, neither side appearing on any of Vincent's albums. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. It ha...
Rain by Beatles
February 07, 2022 13:39 - 391 KBLabel: Capitol 6296 Year: 1966 Condition: M Last Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale. Originally released on Capitol 5651. In case you've forgotten, the B side of this single is more enduring in some ways than the A side... it's one of the touchstones where a lot of modern power pop (e.g., Beck) gets its inspiration. This is a beautiful copy of the black Capitol Starline release with a rainbow edge, in its factory sleeve. Like many Beatles singles, neither of these tracks appear...
Open My Eyes by Nazz
February 05, 2022 14:05 - 391 KBLabel: SGC 001 Year: 1969 Condition: M Last Price: $24.00. Not currently available for sale. Here's a beautiful Mint copy of the third pressing of this classic single. Though the A side is the band's most famous song and was a hit again for Nazz's guitarist and songwriter, Todd Rundgren, in 1973—in fact, it was Rundgren's biggest hit and only top 10 single—my personal fave is the terrific, snarly B side. Rundgren had clearly been listening to the Who, but that's OK: It's a great song and ...
Down At The Twist And Shout by Mary-Chapin Carpenter
February 05, 2022 07:41 - 391 KBLabel: Columbia 73838 Year: 1991 Condition: M Price: $6.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. This great Cajun-style single was Carpenter's first Top 10 hit.
Tired of Being Alone by Al Green
February 04, 2022 14:46 - 391 KBLabel: Hi 2194 Year: 1971 Condition: M- Last Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale. My absolutely favorite Al Green single. His vocal acrobatics during this recording display the full range of his capabilities, all in one song. It still gives me goose-bumps! And do you know, this is only the fourth decent original I've had to sell in over 12 years in business! It's easy to ruin styrene pressings with a lousy needle. And many of Al Green singles fall in that category for some reason...
I've Got To Use My Imagination by Gladys Knight and the Pips
February 04, 2022 13:51 - 391 KBLabel: Buddah 393 Year: 1973 Condition: M Price: $12.00 In case you've forgotten, this is one of the very best tracks from this group's Philly soul period... excellent proto-disco. Check out the mp3 "snippet". Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Buddah 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.)
Bring It On Home by Ronnie Dyson
February 04, 2022 04:31 - 391 KBLabel: Cotillion 47005 Year: 1982 Condition: M Price: $8.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. Both sides of this appealing 1982 single, one of Dyson's last chart 45s, hit the Black/RnB Singles chart. The B side is particularly sweet (have a listen to the mp3 "snippet"!) and is an edited version of the 4:10 album track. This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
I Can't Believe by Springers
February 02, 2022 05:36 - 391 KBLabel: Grapevine 121 Year: 1966 Condition: M Price: $30.00 The A side was originally released on Wales 428, which is one of those truly rare soul 45's that is fetching stratospheric prices... say, upwards of $10,000. This is a limited edition reissue on the U.K. Grapevine label, with a small hole. Not only do you get this super-rare Northern Soul hit, which Kev Roberts recently listed at #63 in his list of 100 top Northern Soul singles, but you also get a Springers rarity that has not prev...
Spinster by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
February 01, 2022 05:35 - 391 KBLabel: Blackheart FR-15 Year: 1994 Condition: M Price: $10.00 This EP has terrific trio of headbangers that was issued on clear blue vinyl. Besides the powerful A side, the B side has two more doses of heavy Joan: Go Home, and Hostility. The great picture sleeve is on high gloss heavy cardboard.
Dorothy by Hi-Fives
January 29, 2022 13:32 - 391 KBLabel: Decca 30657 dj Year: 1958 Condition: M- Price: $80.00 One listen, and you'll simply have to have a copy of "Dorothy" for your Doo Wop collection. Really infectious. Check out the mp3 "snippet" if you don't already love it. This is the promo release. This group made only a handful of singles and no albums. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Decca Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint in appearance (Labels, Vinyl), and the audio sounds pristine!
I'm Ready For Love by Martha & the Vandellas
January 27, 2022 13:42 - 391 KBLabel: Gordy 7056 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 This beautiful copy has pristine audio... awesome to hear this classic in its original pounding clarity. (Have a listen to the mp3 snippet! Then go listen to the LP version. No contest!) This is the second pressing with the triangular Gordy label. Note: This copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. It has untouched-looking Vinyl and pristine Mint audio!
Pull Up To The Bumper by Grace Jones
January 27, 2022 06:20 - 391 KBLabel: Island 49697 Year: 1981 Condition: M Price: $9.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Island Records factory sleeve. Essential, irresistable disco... this was Jones' biggest Black hit, and deservedly so. Unfortunately, it didn't make much a dent on Pop radio. FYI, the single version (the hit you heard on the radio back in 1981) is edited from a 4:41 album track.
A Salty Dog by Procol Harum
January 22, 2022 14:01 - 391 KBLabel: A&M 1069 dj Year: 1969 Condition: M- Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale. One of my personal favorite Procol Harum tunes, this is the original single release in all its glory... seagulls and all. I'm including the last verse in the jukebox, cause it's one of the best climaxes in pop music, and I never tire of hearing it. This promo copy has the same song on both sides. Note: This copy has Near Mint labels that have had the promotional language "whited out". The viny...
I Got It by Masqueraders
January 22, 2022 07:56 - 391 KBLabel: Bell 733 dj Year: 1968 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 Sure, I like the A side of this single, but I wouldn't rate it 2 stars. However, as the B side snippet in our jukebox demonstrates, this single just keeps on going when you flip it over... in fact, this is where the group decides they've "gotta find the groove"... and proceeds to do just that! That's where our 2-star recommendation comes from. By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful promo copy comes in a vintage...
Party Time Man by Futures
January 21, 2022 15:02 - 391 KBLabel: Phil. Int. 3661 Year: 1979 Condition: M- Price: $50.00 Kev Roberts puts this hot number at #83 on his latest list of 100 top Northern Soul singles. This hit version is specially edited from a 5:14 album track. Note: Note: This copy comes in a vintage Philadelphia Int'l Records factory sleeve. It has a couple of flaws on the A label: An "X" mark and a piece of clear tape (see scan... tape doesn't show up in the scan). The vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched, and the grooves preserv...
Rock the Boat by Hues Corporation
January 21, 2022 13:47 - 391 KBLabel: RCA 0232 Year: 1974 Condition: M- Price: $11.00 This classic single is one of the first that was actually labeled "Disco," although it's certainly not the Disco sound that became dominant in the late 1970s. Much closer to Philly Soul. Note: This copy comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve, a different style than pictured in the scan, which is a representative image from our archives. The labels are in Mint condition.
Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
January 21, 2022 13:25 - 391 KBLabel: MGM 14588 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Price: $15.00 A truly incredible remake of the old Preston Epps hit (1959). Note: This copy has pristine labels and audio. The vinyl has light storage wear, grading Near Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
Just Ask Me by Lenis Guess
January 18, 2022 14:16 - 391 KBLabel: S.P.Q.R. 1002 Year: 1966 Condition: EX+ Last Price: $60.00. Not currently available for sale. Lenis Guess had quite a few 45s in the 1960s, most of them highly collectable, but no albums. This one ranks in the top half of Kev Roberts' Top 500 Northern Soul singles, and the A side ("Just Ask Me") is a pounding Soul dancer you won't want to miss. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it in our "jukebox." Note: This isn't the most beautiful-looking copy, with strong EX labels that have a touch ...
Hushabye by Mystics
January 14, 2022 15:45 - 391 KBLabel: Laurie 3028 Year: 1959 Condition: M- Last Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale. Although this vinyl pressing has some notable wear, it has simply brilliant sound! The flip is also highly worthy. By the way, this group had no albums, only singles... and they're all gems! Note: This copy comes in a vintage Laurie Records factory sleeve. The labels are very close to Mint, and even though the vinyl has some notable scuffing, the grooves preserve pristine Mint sound... a real t...
Tennessee Waltz by Bobby Comstock and The Counts
January 14, 2022 15:24 - 391 KBLabel: Blaze 349 Year: 1959 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 This is the greatest rock'n'roll version of one of my very favorite Country tunes. It's been covered many times in many styles, but with its terrific rockabilly guitar break, this one's something special. The flip is also in my iTunes library, a tuneful ballad in a Ricky Nelson/Buddy Holly sorta style. FYI, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), with only very min...
Better Days by Proclaimers
January 12, 2022 14:52 - 391 KBLabel: EMI 17493 Year: 1993 Condition: M- Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale. This was a special jukebox issue on clear green vinyl. These tracks are terrific Scottish-style neo-Rockabilly. If you haven't heard them, you're in for a treat! I love 'em both, but often prefer the B side to the hit! Have a listen and see what you think! The A side is from an earlier album by the group, and the B side is a non-album cut available nowhere else on vinyl. Note: This beautiful copy ...
You're Gonna Miss Me by Thirteenth Floor Elevators
January 09, 2022 14:15 - 391 KBLabel: Int'l Artists 107 Year: 1966 Condition: EX+ Last Price: $50.00. Not currently available for sale. Here's a nice copy of this rarely seen but essential Garage/Psych single, on the two-tone light blue label. Great B side, too! Check out the mp3 "snippet" of the A side, which I made partly to celebrate the amazing audio on this copy. Note: This 45 record has a Near Mint A-side label (see scan), but the B label has more ringwear. Despite a scuffy-looking vinyl surface, the audio sounds al...
I'll Do Anything For You by Joe Drake
January 09, 2022 06:41 - 391 KBLabel: Shamley 44004 Year: 1968 Condition: M- Price: $22.00 This unusual and wonderful number grabbed me right away, so I've put a snippet of it into the Classic 45s jukebox... have a listen! Having listened to the snippet a number of times now, I'm raising our rating to 2 stars, our highest recommendation. Note: This beautiful copy Near Mint labels and nearly pristine-looking vinyl. The audio is so close to Mint I'm calling it that. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; th...
A Cottage For Sale by Little Willie John
January 08, 2022 14:31 - 391 KBLabel: King 5342 Year: 1960 Condition: EX+ Price: $150.00 This single is highly sought-after for its dynamite B side, the original version of a tune revived in the 1980s by the Blasters. I like it so much I made an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. The A side is a smooth RnB number. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels (see scan). The vinyl is a bit scuffy-looking, grading a strong EX, and the audio sounds about the same, with a bit of surface noise occasionally audible.
Stand By Me by Ben E. King
January 08, 2022 14:11 - 391 KBLabel: Atco 6194 Year: 1961 Condition: M Last Price: $45.00. Not currently available for sale. This is one of the nicest original pressings of this early Soul classic I've yet had to offer in the store since opening in 2001... with pristine Mint audio! Check out the mp3 "snippet" we've added... pure Soul bliss! By the way, this was a non-album single that didn't appear on any of the singer's contemporary LPs. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. It has M...
Play The Thing by Marlowe Morris Quintet
January 08, 2022 14:02 - 391 KBLabel: Columbia 42218 Year: 1962 Condition: M Price: $25.00 Morris was a Black jazz organist, and this is the only single that registered on a U.S. National chart. When I first heard the track, I didn't think I could call it Jazz, but wasn't sure what genre to put it in. I noticed that Northern Soul fans see this as a "Latin" dance track, but I don't want to call it "Latin" either. So, I just ended up putting it in as a Soul Instrumental. And it's a really fine one — check out the mp3 snippe...
Don't Make Promises by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
January 01, 2022 12:35 - 391 KBLabel: Columbia 44297 Year: 1967 Condition: M Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale. This was the group's first hit, credited as "The Union Gap featuring Gary Puckett". As impressive as the A side is, appealing to fans of both Sunshine Pop and Northern Soul, a lot of collector interest is directed to the equally impressive, but rarely heard, B side. "Don't Make Promises" was written by Tim Hardin, who released his own, folky version on the B side of a 1968 single, "Lady Came F...
