Label: Mustang 3024 Year: 1967 Condition: M Price: $20.00 This is a fabulous early Barry White production and song... Did someone say this sounded like the Supremes?

Label: RCA 8219 Year: 1963 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 Here's a beautiful copy of this rarely heard, but totally essential, 1963 hit, a Carole King-Gerry Goffin tune that puts its sound squarely in the Girl Group Rock genre. It was the second big Pop hit for Country singer Skeeter Davis in as many years, following "The End of the World." Note: This…

Label: MGM 13501 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $16.00 I just don't hear this great tune enough, so I've socked a clip into the "jukebox" ... I'll admit I didn't learn to love this one until after hearing Nick Lowe's version, circa 1979. But after that, I discovered the Sandy Posey original, which is a very special slice of southern girl-pop bliss…

Label: Mustang 3014 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Last Price: $36.00. Not currently available for sale. This is one of the records, along with some of the early Beatles and many others, that demonstrated one way that rockabilly transitioned into a musical form that became known as Power Pop. Absolutely essential single -- note that both Rolling Stone (#…

Label: Sub Pop 901 Year: 2010 Condition: M Price: $8.00 Totally catchy and delightfully right tune about, you know. This great single shows off the group's Power Pop personality on the A side, and a gruffer, grungier side on the flip. Both worthy of instantly adding to my iTunes playlist, and I'm socking the A side in the Classic 45s jukebox as wel…

Label: 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.

Label: Rolling Stones 19100 Year: 1971 Condition: M- Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale. This is one of the greatest of the Stones two-sided monster hits. Well, the B side didn't actually chart, but it's so great it really should have. Presumably, radio just wasn't ready to play a song called "Bitch" yet... though they were prepar…

Label: Atco 6592 Year: 1968 Condition: M- Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale. This is the terrific original version of the song the Black Crowes took to the top 40 in 1991. Incidentally, back in 1968, "Amen" was originally the plug side, which is probably why "Hard To Handle" didn't get much airplay back then (though it did turn o…

Label: Bell 672 Year: 1967 Condition: M Last Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale. Wow!

Label: Sire 29565 Year: 1983 Condition: M Last Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale.

Label: Boardwalk 177 Year: 1983 Condition: M Price: $10.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve.

Label: Atco 7079 Year: 1977 Condition: M- Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale. Dave Marsh was right-on when pinning this rock classic at #159 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. As he says in explaining his choice, ["Solsbury Hill" is] Rock's greatest resignation speech... one of the most nakedly emotional rec…

Label: Atlantic 2827 Year: 1971 Condition: M- Price: $10.00 I'm sorry to note that more than 45 years after Graham Nash released this single, my country still suffers at times from "Military Madness." But then, we're far from alone in that. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It grades close to Mint in all …

Label: MGM 13322 Year: 1965 Condition: M- Price: $30.00 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 …

Label: MCA 52856 Year: 1986 Condition: M- Last Price: $8.00. Not currently available for sale. Yeah, I know this is a Country song, but it's also retro-Rockabilly in my book. Whatever you call it, it's so perfect it just cries out for an mp3 "snippet" in our jukebox... so here is one: Have a listen! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage MCA …

Label: Sam 5025 Year: 1982 Condition: M Price: $50.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. According to Joel Whitburn, Komiko was a studio group put together by Gary Turner of Gary's Gang fame. This is a striking Techno/Disco number that's hard to find and in great demand.

Label: WB 49511 Year: 1980 Condition: M Price: $14.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve.

Label: Soul City 753 Year: 1967 Condition: M Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale.

Label: Autumn 8 Year: 1965 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 This is a beautiful copy of the group's first hit single. By the way, the flip side is incredibly strong... hard to say which side I like better! I'm putting the B side in the "jukebox," since it's likely that fewer of you have heard it. Enjoy! Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and nearly un…

Label: Capitol 2675 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Price: $12.00 My very favorite Bobbie Gentry song... an absolutely compelling picture of a desperate girl's rise from poor white trash to the satin-sheet luxury life. Plus those horns! Those strings! Those words! That voice! This single version is slightly edited from a 4:15 album track. Note: This beaut…

Label: EMI 8132 Year: 1982 Condition: M- Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale. This record comes in a Near Mint copy of the release's cool picture sleeve.

Label: Columbia 04463 Year: 1984 Condition: M Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale. This great single was Springsteen's first hit from his album Born In The U.S.A. For an artist whose previous career was very light on Top 10 hits (he'd had only one -- "Hungry Heart" -- in 1980), it was a huge surprise to all his fans (and probably t…

Label: Mercury 870298 Year: 1988 Condition: M Price: $20.00 The label indicates that the A side is edited from the album cut, but the difference is only 3 seconds; I suspect what is meant is that the 45 has a remixed version of the LP cut.

Label: Jet 03964 Year: 1983 Condition: M Price: $10.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. One of Lynne's swan songs as ELO, this is also perhaps the group's very best rocker.
