Label: Roulette GG-135 Year: 1969 Condition: M Price: $8.00 The A side was originally released on Dunhill/ABC 4217. The magnificent B side, however, was never before released on 45 rpm. It appeared on a 1969 Grass Roots LP, and it surely would have been a hit as a single! Have a listen to the mp3 jukebox snippet and see what I mean. This is a new c…

Label: Avco 4625 Year: 1973 Condition: M Price: $14.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in a vintage Avco Records factory sleeve. Like so many 45s of the 1970s and 1980s, this one has an edited version of a longer -- in this case, 4:27 -- album track. Note: This copy has light storage wear that lowers the Label grade to Ne…

Label: Malaco 2122 Year: 1985 Condition: M Price: $14.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. It's a crime to Soul radio that this one wasn't a huge hit for the veteran Mr. Bobby Bland. It's a wonderful recording fully deserving our highest rating of 2 stars. We just had to put up an mp3 "snippet" so you can hear it for yourse…

Label: WB 7733 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Price: $14.00 The A side is swinging Northern Soul at its danceable best! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It looks new (Labels, Vinyl), but the audio has light surface noise that keeps it a weak Near Mint.

Label: Buddah 383 Year: 1973 Condition: M- Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. This great record is well deserving of its high position in Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. I'm not sure that it wouldn't be even higher in my personal list... simply a perfect record. By the way, this hit version is speci…

Label: Arista 0139 dj Year: 1975 Condition: M Price: $18.00 Stereo/Mono promo copy. This is one seriously great dance number, with a powerful sense of menace that you don't normally find in Disco music... Which is why I've decided to put it in the Philly Soul genre instead. No matter... it's a must-have 1975 rarity. Group is New York duo Mike Felde…

Label: Columbia 43678 Year: 1966 Condition: M Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale. This is one of this group's finest singles. It's not only got the familiar Garage-style hit on the A side, but you'll find a neat, catchy, Beatlesque rocker on the flip. Great package! I'm glad to see Dave Marsh includes it in his list, because if it…

Label: King 6245 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 Simply amazing. You can bet a whole truckload of producers and musicians took notes when this baby hit the streets... and they're still doing it today.

Label: WB 29746 Year: 1983 Condition: M- Last Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale. 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…

Label: RCA 10441 Year: 1975 Condition: M- Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. This is one of Bowie's absolutely essential singles, and you'll find that it's a specially edited version that's about half a minute shorter than the album cut. Chart Nerd Alert: In the 1970s, Bowie released some of the very best music of his career, but…

Label: Stiff 1179 Year: 1978 Condition: M Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. This single was not released on any contemporary LP... it was a non-album 45.

Label: Laurie 3464 Year: 1968 Condition: M Price: $15.00 In case you were wondering, it's the B side of this Folk classic that got Dave Marsh's attention at #452 on his list of the 1,001 greatest singles ever made. Just a warning if you're not familiar with it: "Daddy Rollin'" ain't your Mother's Dion! (We use this side to assign the 45 to a genre,…

Label: Atco 6668 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 George Harrison, who cowrote the song, also plays guitar on this great track.

Label: ABC-Pmt. 10329 Year: 1962 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 Is this classic early Bubblegum? Or late Buddy Holly? Whatever, Roe's Holly impression is spot-on, and ultimately the song and recording succeed on their own, as a truly brilliant reworking of "Peggy Sue." I tend to think of it as Bubblegum because you really have to get in touch with you…

Label: Capitol 4932 Year: 1963 Condition: M- Price: $35.00 This is a beautiful copy of the Beach Boys' first top 10 hit, which also had a Top 40 B side -- one of their greatest "Car" songs.

Label: Threshold 67006 Year: 1971 Condition: M- Price: $12.00 This great single is one of the few occasions when the group really rocked out big time... an essential Moody Blues track!

Label: Fontana 1541 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 Riding the wave of the British invasion, The Mindbenders had a knack for releasing catchy singles but somehow missing out on the celebrity fame of fellow bands like the Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Hollies, Herman's Hermits, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Kinks, Who, etc. Like John Lennon and Paul…

Label: Capitol 2248 Year: 1969 Condition: M Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. On the B side of this classic hit is another reason why Joe South is so admired... here's a complex pop song that's part country, part soul, part psychedelic rock.

Label: Laurie 3400 Year: 1967 Condition: M- Price: $15.00 Here's another Music Explosion single you won't want to be without! Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it...

continue reading
Label: Atco 6491 Year: 1967 Condition: M- Price: $12.00 The B side of this single (a non-album cut) is well worth the price of admission all by itself... but of course, who could live without hearing the goofy A side once in awhile? Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. Despite some surface marks on the vinyl, th…

Label: Prelude 8004 Year: 1979 Condition: M Price: $25.00 Jocelyn Brown was a member of this group. This terrific Philly-style dancer was their biggest hit. I liked it so much right away I had to get an mp3 "snippet" out for you to hear. Great Disco-style dancer on the flip. Both tracks are edited from longer album cuts of 7:54 and 6:30, respective…

Label: Atlantic 87236 Year: 1994 Condition: M Price: $6.00 Despite some signs of jukebox use on the vinyl, the audio is Mint! This terrific Country chart-topper is one of several by this artist to cross over to the Pop market. Have a listen to the mp3 snippet, and you might hear why! This one borders on Rockabilly.…

Label: EMI 8043 Year: 1980 Condition: M Price: $10.00 Johnny Burnette's kid may have made only one classic 45, but it's still a joy to hear more than 40 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).…

Label: Atlantic 3574 Year: 1979 Condition: M- Price: $14.00 In case you have somehow avoided being infected by this acutely catchy tune, here's your opportunity!

Label: Epic 10184 Year: 1967 Condition: M- Price: $35.00 Everybody knows the delightful A side, which was originally recorded by the Four Seasons and released as the B side of "Rag Doll".

Label: Laurie 3380 Year: 1967 Condition: M Price: $20.00 Besides the famous A side, don't miss the great B side on this one, which shows the group's garage-rock roots very clearly.

Label: Hickory 1332 Year: 1965 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 Some Northern Soul fans consider this one of theirs, but to me it's also part of the Bubblegum sound.

Label: Buddah 114 Year: 1969 Condition: M Price: $12.00 This is a different recording--slightly slower beat and different vocals--from the one that appears on some later bubblegum compilations, such as Rhino's 'The Best of the 1910 Fruitgum Co. and Other Bubblegum Smashes' LP.

Label: ABC 11164 Year: 1969 Condition: M- Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.
