Latest Episodes:

Love's Theme by Love Unlimited Orchestra Jun 27, 2025
Label: 20th Century 2069
Year: 1973
Condition: M
Price: $12.00
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-
Price: $15.00
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
Price: $15.00
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-
Price: $40.00
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!

My Man, A Sweet Man by Millie Jackson Jun 13, 2025
Label: Spring 127
Year: 1972
Condition: M
Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.
One of Jackson's finest singles, Kev Roberts puts this one at #100 in his list of the 500 greatest Northern Soul 45s. And for good reason! Check out the mp3 "snippet". Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Spring Records factory sleeve. This record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio) (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Armed and Extremely Dangerous by First Choice Jun 13, 2025
Label: Philly Groove 175
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $12.00
Absolutely essential proto-Disco dance number... not to be missed! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Bell Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and pristine sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard Jun 11, 2025
Label: Mercury 870298
Year: 1988
Condition: M
Price: $25.00
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.

Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners Jun 11, 2025
Label: Mercury 76189
Year: 1983
Condition: M-
Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale.
If you own but one tune by these guys, this is definitely it! This copy has the first-pressing "skyscrapers" Mercury label, and it comes in a gorgeous copy of the release's picture sleeve. By the way, this U.S. single version is shorter than the 4:48 album track. It also differs from the U.K. version in both timing and, I believe, instrumentation. (I haven't heard the U.K. version.) Note: This beautiful 45 has Mint labels and pristine sound. The picture sleeve looks Near Mint but has a split-seam at the bottom edge.

The Story In Your Eyes by Moody Blues Jun 08, 2025
Label: Threshold 67006
Year: 1971
Condition: M
Last Price: $22.00. Not currently available for sale.
This great single is one of the few occasions when the group really rocked out big time... an essential Moody Blues track! Note: This 45 record omes in a Near Mint copy of the release's cool picture sleeve. The labels look Mint. The vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched, and the audio comes through pristine Mint!

Put Your Mind At Ease by Every Mother's Son Jun 07, 2025
Label: MGM 13788
Year: 1967
Condition: M
Price: $20.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original picture sleeve. Terrific Bubblegum/Sunshine Pop single in the best Monkees tradition. :-)

Someday, Someway by Marshall Crenshaw Jun 03, 2025
Label: WB 29974
Year: 1982
Condition: M
Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.
The A side is one of the best hits of the neo-Rockabilly wave that swept the U.S. and England in the early 1980's. With his note-perfect first album and great songwriting (produced by Richard Gottehrer, who served up so much great rock'n'roll froth in the 1960's with such acts as the Angels and McCoys), Crenshaw seemed like a new Buddy Holly. The non-LP B side, which Bette Midler later took up the charts, is credited to 'Marshall Crenshaw and the Handsome, Ruthless and Stupid Band.' Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

The Lonely Surfer by Jack Nitzsche Jun 01, 2025
Label: Reprise 20202
Year: 1963
Condition: M-
Price: $25.00
Nitzsche arranged many of Phil Spector's biggest hits on Philles. Here he stepped out and made a masterpiece under his own name... simply divine! This is one of the nicest copies I've yet had for sale since opening in 2001. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Reprise Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) looks Near Mint with a few light scuffs, and the audio is very close to Mint.

Runaround by Regents Jun 01, 2025
Label: Gee 1071
Year: 1961
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00
This is an extraordinarily clean copy of this great single. The labels are almost Mint, and the vinyl and audio are Near Mint as well.

Funk #49 by James Gang May 31, 2025
Label: ABC 11272
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Price: $18.00
This, the group's first single to crack the Hot 100, was a new version of Funk #48, which they released the previous year on Bluesway. Both are to-die-for classics of guitar rock, showcases for Joe Walsh. On this pressing, the title is spelled "Funk No. 49" rather than "Funk #49." Though not mentioned on the label, the Mono-mix 45 has a superior, edited version of a longer album track (the 45 edit is about 30 seconds shorter). Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC Records factory sleeve.

The Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie May 31, 2025
Label: RCA 0876
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale.
Most people born after 1980 assume that Nirvana wrote the classic "Man Who Sold The World," and they certainly did record an impressive version of it. In fact, the song fit so well with the grunge sound and modern rock in general that the mistake of youth is understandable. However, you've got to hear the original version by the song's author to appreciate it fully. Note that this release has the 5:05 version of "Space Oddity," which became Bowie's first top 40 hit in the U.S. This is a beautiful copy of both the vinyl record and its original picture sleeve.

Marianne/ Nothin' To Do But Today by Stephen Stills May 31, 2025
Label: Atlantic 2820
Year: 1971
Condition: M-
Price: $12.00
What a surprisingly great single! The A side is Stills at his power-poppy best with an absolutely great top 40 hit (though it didn't actually make it there), and the B side is a funky-country-bluesy-Hendrixy workout that's irresistable! Shows how much great stuff you can fit on a little 45 when you really try. :-) The A side, incidentally, features Nils Lofgren and Eric Clapton joining Stills on guitars. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl and audio.

She Has Funny Cars by Jefferson Airplane May 30, 2025
Label: RCA 9140
Year: 1967
Condition: M
Price: $25.00
Everybody knows and loves the A side of this great single, but the B side is a 2-star destination in its own right! It's an amazing amalgam of Bo Diddley, Beatles, and psychedelia all stirred up into an exciting thrill ride that's uniquely Jefferson Airplane. Now, exactly what her funny cars are and what's so funny about them is a secret the band keeps to themselves. But hey, the words sound great anyway! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage RCA Victor Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Itchycoo Park by Small Faces May 30, 2025
Label: Immediate 501
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.
This 1967 hit is a classic of the pop/psych genre, and succeeds in being closely Beatlesque. It was the first U.K. record to feature the new "flanging" effect. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Immediate Records factory sleeve. It has very nearly Mint labels and audio, despite some notable scuffing on the vinyl.

You're The One by Buddy Holly May 30, 2025
Label: Coral 62558
Year: 1969
Condition: M
Price: $60.00
This is a beautiful Mint copy of a single released in 1969 to commemorate Buddy Holly's untimely 1959 death, along with its striking picture sleeve. 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 been "stretched" by splicing and re-recording the original tape. Norman Petty's later treatment of the recording, adding organ sounds to create the impression of strings, probably comes fairly close to Buddy's own ideas for the song.

As for the B side, this rarity was cowritten with Waylon Jennings and not released until well after Holly's death. Among other places, it appeared on the B side of U.K. single in 1964. Upon hearing it, I knew I'd heard it before and after wracking my brain for awhile, I remembered that it was a version by the neo-Rockabilly singer/songwriter Billy Swan released in 1976 that was in my head. Other than that, I haven't heard any other versions, though it's indubitably hit material!

Note: The 45 itself has Mint labels. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine. The great picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

Pity The Poor Man by George Tindley May 29, 2025
Label: Wand 11215
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00
Both sides of this obscure 1970 Soul single are top-notch keepers! The A side features some surprising, catchy rhythms that'll definitely keep your feet moving, and the B side has become a favorite... quite special. Listen to the MP3 snippet we've added to the "jukebox" to see if you agree. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Wand Records factory sleeve. Both sides of this styrene pressing have pristine mint audio.

I'm Still Dancing by Presidents May 29, 2025
Label: Sussex 207
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Price: $11.00
As if the A side of this classic Van-McCoy-produced Philly Soul single weren't great enough, I don't think a lot of soul fans are aware of how delicious the uptempo B side is! So... because it's also one of my personal 5-star records, into the Classic 45s jukebox it goes!

I Knew The Bride (When She Use To Rock And Roll) by Nick Lowe May 28, 2025
Label: Columbia 05570
Year: 1985
Condition: M-
Last Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale.
Credited to Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit. Considering all the great singles Nick Lowe released during the late 1970's through the 1980's, it's incredible to realize that this is one of only two that actually hit the American Hot 100. Note that this one found Lowe on the other end of the producer's gun: Lowe let Huey Lewis do the production honors! The A side is specially edited from a 4:25 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint audio.
