Latest Episodes:

Back On The Chain Gang by Pretenders Jul 22, 2025
Label: Sire 29840
Year: 1982
Condition: M-
Price: $13.50
Terrific, almost-retro, power pop hit, backed with the very dark but beautiful 'My City Was Gone,' which incidentally places at #949 in Marsh's top 1001. That B side is an edited version of the 5:14 album cut. The picture sleeve is a weak Near Mint with a small tear in the lower left corner, and light age staining. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

I'm In Love With My Car by Queen Jul 20, 2025
Label: Elektra 45297
Year: 1976
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
This was the group's first big hit in the U.S. An oddly compelling song, I shudder at the thought that I might actually like it... and then realize that teenagers are rediscovering Queen, and this song is a cult hit all over again. Still, there's no argument that the flip side is a must-have glam-era rocker. Even if you can't stand "Mama Mia!" and so on, you gotta love "The machine of a dream?"... Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of it! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Elektra/Asylum Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels, and the Vinyl looks almost untouched. The audio grades close to Mint, but on the A side there is a faint touch of underlying surface noise in the quiet segments.

Pinball by Brian Protheroe Jul 20, 2025
Label: Chrysalis 2104 dj
Year: 1975
Condition: M-
Price: $15.00
Stereo/Mono promo copy. Brilliant, strange, and wonderful... if you don't know it yet, you're missing out. This promo copy grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

China Grove by Doobie Brothers Jul 20, 2025
Label: WB 7728
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $15.00
It's hard to find Mint or Near Mint copies of this 1973 classic these days, but I did! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl and audio.

Sunshine of Your Love by Cream Jul 19, 2025
Label: Atco 6544
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $24.00
Here's a beautiful copy of this classic Psychedelic Rock tune, this "supergroup"'s first big hit. Credited here as by "The Cream." Don't neglect the B side here: It's a Psych classic in its own right. By the way, this single's A side (the hit version) is specially edited from a 4:10 album track. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. The labels are very close to Mint in appearance. The vinyl (styrene) also grades Near Mint, with some light surface scuffing. The audio sounds close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Happiness In My Heart by In Crowd Jul 19, 2025
Label: Viva 604
Year: 1966
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
Here's a beautiful copy of this rare 1966 single, whose A side is clearly Sunshine Pop but whose B side crosses genres with a stompin' Northern Soul beat with Sunshine Pop harmonies. I was so taken by it I quickly made an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. Enjoy! Note: This copy comes in a vintage Viva Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Ain't Gonna Move by Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs Jul 19, 2025
Label: MGM 13322
Year: 1965
Condition: M-
Price: $35.00
Here's a beautiful copy of the original MGM pressing of this swamp-rock classic. These tracks had earlier been released on the small Texas label XL, a 45 that could fetch $1,000 or more if you find a Near Mint copy! :-) Besides the well-known and -loved A side, which Dave Marsh pegs at #78 in his Top 1,001 singles list, be sure to check out the totally cool blues-rock performance on the flip. This is precisely the kind of sound that British groups like the Animals and Stones were striving for at the time and is one of the foundations of what became known as "Garage Rock." (Check out the mp3 snippet we've added to our "jukebox.") By the way, this very short (2:05!) B side wasn't included on any of Sam The Sham's albums... it was a non-album cut available only this 45. Note: This copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and Near Mint-looking vinyl with just a few light scuffs. I'm delighted to report that both sides of this important single have nearly pristine audio -- and man, is it a big sound!

Stand By Me by Ben E. King Jul 18, 2025
Label: Atco 6194
Year: 1961
Condition: M
Price: $45.00
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 Mint labels and pristine sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

I Got A Feeling by Four Tops Jul 18, 2025
Label: Motown 1104
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00
Besides the classic A side, which as you'll notice makes #37 on Dave Marsh's list of the top 1001 singles ever made, be sure to listen to the flip, which a collector/dealer I respect greatly once opined was the greatest Four Tops side ever released! You may not agree with that assessment, but I think you'll have to admit it's a must-have Tops track! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl, which has a couple of scuffs on the A side. The audio itself sounds pristine, with no surface noise audible and no distortion. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

How Can You Tell Me? by Flirtations Jul 18, 2025
Label: Deram 85038
Year: 1969
Condition: M-
Price: $50.00
In case you've never heard the flip side of this northern soul classic, you're missing out...! It's at least as tasty, if not more so, than the main course. That's why we keep a snippet of the song in the Classic 45s "jukebox." This is one of the nicest copies of Deram 85038 I've ever seen, with flawless sound. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Deram Records factory sleeve. The vinyl (styrene) looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy has no writing on the labels.)

Promises by Eric Clapton Jul 17, 2025
Label: RSO 1039
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Price: $10.00
This is a beautiful copy, in its original RSO factory sleeve. Credited to "Eric Clapton And His Band." This 45 record grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), with the audio being very close to mint.

Hold Your Head Up by Argent Jul 17, 2025
Label: Epic 10852
Year: 1972
Condition: M
Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.
Iconic bass & guitar riffs propel this classic rock song. This 3:15 track is a seriously edited version of the 6:15 album cut. Enjoy! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint labels and audio!

The Circle Is Small by Gordon Lightfoot Jul 13, 2025
Label: WB 8518
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Price: $8.00
This is a beautiful stock copy, in its original Warner/Reprise factory sleeve. The A side is a simply must-have Gordon Lightfoot song... have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" if you don't know the tune. Fine B side as well.

Trickle, Trickle by Videos Jul 12, 2025
Label: Casino 102
Year: 1958
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00
This is one of the all-time greatest uptempo Doo Wop numbers. This is a beautiful copy of one of the later issues on the black/silver Casino label, with the label name in six playing cards and no text indicating national distribution by Gone Records. Note: The labels grade Near Mint with a small mar on the A label. The vinyl grades Near Mint with some surface scuffs, and the audio is pristine Mint (have a listen to the mp3 "snippet"). (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have the label flaws shown.)

Kentucky Woman by Deep Purple Jul 11, 2025
Label: Tetragrammaton 1508
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale.
This is an awesome, psych-rock cover of Neil Diamond's hit from the previous year. This 3:57 track is an edited version of the 4:44 album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Tetragrammaton Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint labels and audio. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Time Won't Let Me by Outsiders Jul 11, 2025
Label: Capitol 5573
Year: 1966
Condition: M-
Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.
Here's a single that I would have included in a list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of all time, though Dave Marsh (see his list under "Collect A List" in the left-hand column of the site) didn't. It would not only be on my list, it would be high up there, perhaps in the top 100! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet", especially if you don't already know this classic, whose sound straddles Garage Rock, Northern Soul, and what I call Horn Rock. The flip isn't quite as stunning, but it's a fine keeper nonetheless. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with a light touch of wear. And although I'm grading the Vinyl a strong EX, the audio gets a Near Mint grade... incredible sound, really.

Me And Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul Jul 10, 2025
Label: Phil. Int'l. 3521
Year: 1972
Condition: M-
Price: $12.00
Listening to this Philly Soul classic again today, I was thinking that the spark of genius at work here, in the collaboration among Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Bobby Martin, is precisely the same as that which gave life to the Motown genius of producer/writers like Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, with miracles of Soul music such as "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations. Anyway, what I mean is... I love it! Not on the Rolling Stone, Dave Marsh or Kev Roberts lists? I think I'm hearing something those guys don't, cause to me this is a 2-star recommendation (our highest)! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Philadelphia Int'l Records factory sleeve. It looks very close to mint (Labels, Vinyl) and has gorgeous, Near Mint audio, held back by the quiet intro having a touch of underlying surface noise.

Little Red Corvette by Prince Jul 09, 2025
Label: WB 29746
Year: 1983
Condition: M-
Price: $12.00
This is a terrific edited cut from the 5:03 LP version, and it's this tune that ranks the highest of all the Prince singles in Dave Marsh's Top 1,001 Singles list. And as if the A side weren't reason enough to own this classic single, the B side is one of those super-special, non-LP cut offerings Prince managed to throw around for free on his 1980s singles. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Love's Theme by Love Unlimited Orchestra Jun 27, 2025
Label: 20th Century 2069
Year: 1973
Condition: M
Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
In case you've forgotten, this is an absolutely gorgeous Disco instrumental that proves once and for all that "disco" and "gorgeous" are not mutually exclusive terms. This single's A side is specially edited from a 4:08 album track, and the B side appears to be a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage 20th Century Records factory sleeve. It has pristine sound.

Hold Back the Night by Trammps Jun 26, 2025
Label: Buddah 507 dj
Year: 1975
Condition: M-
Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.
Stereo/Mono promo copy. Was there ever a better instrumental buildup to the climactic opening of this song? Not many, if any... check out the mp3 "snippet" of it. By the way, this is definitely more in the Northern Soul style than in a Disco style, but somehow it's never become a huge hit in that scene. The wonderful B side instrumental is more of a Disco track. This hit version is specially edited from a 3:54 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Buddah Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl (styrene), and pristine Mint sound! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Love Has Found Me by Sister Sledge Jun 26, 2025
Label: Atco 7035 dj
Year: 1975
Condition: M
Price: $12.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed Stereo/Mono promo copy, in its original factory sleeve. This early Sister Sledge single is an absolutely perfect neo-Motown dance number, from the strings and sax to the great vocals. Check out the Mp3 snippet (in Mono)! By the way, this tune wasn't on their only Atco album, making this a non-album single. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Theme From 'Which Way Is Up' by Stargard Jun 26, 2025
Label: MCA 40825
Year: 1977
Condition: M
Price: $9.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original MCA factory sleeve. This amazing disco/funk classic has a groove that just won't quit... and that you don't soon forget! The single has a significantly shorter version than the 7:00 album track ? concentrated goodness! Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

You Got The Love I Need by Undisputed Truth Jun 26, 2025
Label: Gordy 7108
Year: 1971
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
Now, here's a case where the A side is already so wonderful that your average fan may never bother to flip the record over to hear the B side. Besides, by the early 1970's, Motown records weren't exactly reliable for having worthy flip sides. So the years go by, and one day you decide to see what the B side holds in store... Lo and behold, it's an even better song than the A side! As amazing as it may seem, it's true in this case. The only caveat is that the two sides are so completely different it's hard to say which is "better." Whoever owns this great single should just feel lucky to have both sides to look forward to! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Love Shortage by T.U.M.E. Jun 26, 2025
Label: MGM 14799 dj
Year: 1975
Condition: M
Price: $14.00
This is a new, unplayed Stereo/Mono promo copy, in its original MGM Records factory sleeve. This rarely seen single has a dynamite Northern Soul-meets-Disco dancer. The group's name is an acronym for "The Ultimate Musical Experience." Note: Some of these copies may have a touch of storage wear on the labels, but they're otherwise pristine Mint.

Wild Wild Life by Talking Heads Jun 25, 2025
Label: Sire 28629
Year: 1986
Condition: M
Price: $15.00
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 group's album "True Stories." Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless.

Come Dancing by Kinks Jun 25, 2025
Label: Arista 1054 dj
Year: 1983
Condition: M
Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.
This is a new, unplayed Stereo/Mono promo copy, in its original picture sleeve. A well deserved hit from the early 1980's, this was the Kinks' last visit to the U.S. top 10. It's an edited version of the 4:34 album track. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

You Dropped A Bomb On Me by Gap Band Jun 25, 2025
Label: Total Exp. 8203
Year: 1982
Condition: M-
Last Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale.
Though they contributed mightily to the sound that made 1970s-80s funk so great, if I had to pick one to include in a list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made, it might very well be this one. For me, it would be hard to choose between this and "Early in the Morning," but we know how Dave Marsh voted. :-) By the way, this single has an edited version of the 5:10 album cut. Note: This copy has light storage wear, lowering the Label & Vinyl grade to Near Mint. The Audio is pristine Mint.

Gypsy Woman by Ricky Nelson Jun 22, 2025
Label: Decca 31495
Year: 1963
Condition: M
Price: $40.00
Both sides of this single charted, and actually the fine B side was the bigger hit. But the remarkable, Soulful "Gypsy Woman" (check out the mp3 "snippet" of it) charted first and was the intended A side. Well worth seeking out! By the way, the singer is credited here as 'Rick Nelson.' Note: The picture sleeve is Near Mint. The 45 record itself has powerful, pristine Mint sound, and it looks new.

Love Like A Man by Ten Years After Jun 21, 2025
Label: Deram 7529
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale.
The A side is a must-have early metal track, featuring the distinctive electric guitar of Alvin Lee. It's specially edited from a much longer (7:13) album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Deram/London Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels, and the vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched. The audio sounds pristine Mint!

Up On The Roof by Laura Nyro Jun 21, 2025
Label: Columbia 45230 dj
Year: 1970
Condition: M
Price: $22.00
Stereo/Mono promo copy. What a gorgeous performance! I can't find a category that this fits in neatly in, so I keep going back and forth between jazz and soul. Oh well, I've made a snippet of part of the middle that I like best... enjoy! The snippet is in Mono, like the retail release, but this promo offers a full Stereo version as well! Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her by Simon & Garfunkel Jun 21, 2025
Label: Columbia 43873
Year: 1966
Condition: M
Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.
Oddly, this is only the fourth copy of this great single I've been able to offer since opening in 2001. The flip is one of fans' most beloved S&G tunes. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels with a touch of storage wear. Although the vinyl (styrene) has one or two stray marks, it's all on the surface as the audio on the A-side is pristine Mint. The B-side I heard one light pop that may be a matter of cleaning.

It's Cold Outside by Choir Jun 21, 2025
Label: Roulette 4738
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
This essential Garage Rock single not only has a truly awesome A side, but a B side winner as well. In fact, this is the rare first pressing of this single, whose matrix numbers indicate that "I'm Going Home" is the A side (number for "It's Cold Outside" is 19155 rather than 19154 on later pressings). Three members of this group joined Eric Carmen in the early 1970's to form the Raspberries. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Roulette Records factory sleeve.

Victim of a Foolish Heart by Bettye Swann Jun 19, 2025
Label: Atlantic 2869 dj
Year: 1972
Condition: M
Price: $22.00
Stereo/Mono promo copy. Not a huge hit, but definitely deserving of more airplay than it got... Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to see why I rate it so highly. By the way, this promo is quite special in that it has a full Stereo version as well as the Mono, which was on the retail release. Note: This beautiful copy has a touch of ringwear on the Mono label but no other notable flaws. The audio is pristine Mint.

Lover Please by Clyde McPhatter Jun 19, 2025
Label: Mercury 71941
Year: 1962
Condition: M-
Last Price: $45.00. Not currently available for sale.
This relentlessly catchy dancer, penned by none other than Billy Swan, always manages to cheer me up... Enjoy! This copy comes in the release's original picture sleeve. The B side appears to be a non-album recording. Note: This beautiful copy looks very close to Mint (Labels, Vinyl). The audio sounds pristine Mint, and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat) by Digable Planets Jun 18, 2025
Label: Pendulum 64674
Year: 1992
Condition: M-
Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale.
One of the defining Rap songs of the early 1990s. Note: This beautiful copy grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Angle Park by Big Country Jun 17, 2025
Label: Mercury 811450
Year: 1984
Condition: M
Last Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale.
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is the limited-edition, first release that includes a full poster sleeve. This song was their second U.K. single, which went top 10 there. In the U.S., it was released after the less-but-still-wonderful "In A Big Country." An interesting factoid here is the magnificent B side, which was one of the two songs the group demoed originally for Virgin Records in 1981. It was never released on vinyl, except for this release, but it remains one of the the favorites of Big Country fans. The song was also left off the group's debut LP, "The Crossing," not appearing on an album in the U.S. until the DVD of "Crossing" came out in 1990. And here's yet one more bit of trivia: In the beginning, the group actually called itself "Angle Park!" Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix) by Los Del Rio Jun 15, 2025
Label: RCA 07863
Year: 1995
Condition: M
Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.
I'm sorry, but your collection simply isn't complete without this original version of "Macarena." (FYI, this "Bayside Boys Mix" version of the LP cut clocks at 3:52. The LP version is 4:12.) Even if you got sick of it back in the day, you will regret not listening to "Macarena" again after the passage of a few years. As the Borg would say (sorry, Star-Trek-nerd alert), "Resistance is futile!" :-) Besides, the flip of this already-essential single is yet another must-own by Scatman John. So this is one powerful little 7-inch record! Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). Incredible sound. It's pressed on translucent black vinyl.

Hard To Handle by Black Crowes Jun 15, 2025
Label: Def American 19245
Year: 1990
Condition: M
Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy... pristine Mint! Do the Black Crowes top Otis Redding's original version of this tune? Ahh, who cares... they're so different, and both so great that it's impossible to choose. I'd be happy with either one on a desert island, myself. :-) The terrific B side rocker is a non-album cut... one of the reasons you gotta collect the 45! Last Mint copy!

One More Rainy Day by Deep Purple Jun 13, 2025
Label: Tetragrammaton 1503
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $25.00
This great cover of the Joe South tune (originally recorded by Billy Joe Royal) is backed with a brooding, tuneful rock track that will quickly become a favorite! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Tetragrammaton Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and nearly untouched-looking vinyl (styrene). The audio sounds pristine on both sides except for a brief period during the quiet intros when a faint touch of surface noise is audible.

Light Bulb Blues by Shadows of Knight Jun 13, 2025
Label: Dunwich 122
Year: 1966
Condition: M
Price: $60.00
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 has Mint labels except for the drillhole. The vinyl (styrene) looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint! The cool picture sleeve has a small drillhole but is otherwise nearly flawless!
