Classic 45's Jukebox

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.

Label: U.A. 50910
Year: 1972
Condition: M-
Last Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale.

Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage U.A. Records factory sleeve. It has powerful, pristine Mint sound.

Originally released on RCA 5058. In this obscure single release, the Eurythmics tackled tuneful 1960s power pop and made it their own. I guess it's not what radio wanted from Annie and David at that time. This is a like-new copy of the RCA Gold Standard reissue.

Label: Philles 121
Year: 1964

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. One listen to this seldom-heard Ronettes tune will make clear why it ranks so highly in Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made. Pure girl group bliss! Note: These crisp copies look like they just came off the shelf in 1964! Even the audio is as close to pristine as a Philles record pressing can get.

Label: Verve 10245

Here's a particularly beautiful copy of one of my favorite Doo Wop rarities from the early 1960's... the flip is great, too. By the way, this group made no albums, so this was a 45-only, non-album single. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and very nearly Mint vinyl and audio. Check out the mp3 "snippet"!

Label: Tribe 8308
Year: 1965
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00

Here's a beautiful copy of the single that Dave Marsh ranks at #491 in his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n' Soul. And don't neglect the terrific B side... also essential Sir Douglas Quintet! By the way, this was a non-album single until Tribe released a "Greatest Hits" LP in 1966. Fortunately, that LP contains both of these great tracks. Note: This 45 record has very nearly Mint labels. The vinyl and audio grade close to Mint as well.

Label: Motown 1157

Michael Jackson was unbelievably talented. Witness this, the greatest of all Jackson 5 singles, as well as their first, and the first of four consecutive #1 hits over the course of the next 10 months. All of this success falling squarely on the back of little 11-year-old Michael. What a talent! Of course, whoever is doing honors on the piano and guitar ain't half bad either... I mean, the opening few bars of this record, once heard, are not soon forgotten. How could anyone not love this song? I'm always thrilled to get a nice copy of this amazing single back into the store. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and pristine Mint vinyl and audio. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Gordy 7069
Year: 1968
Condition: M
Price: $50.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in a rare original picture sleeve. Yes, I know this is on a Motown label, but it's still in the sweet Philly style :-) The flip, incidentally, is even better than the A side and is closer to the Motown sound (have a listen to the mp3 snippet in our "jukebox"). "Fading Away" was first recorded in 1966 by The Temptations and was pressed as the B side of their classic hit "Get Ready." Note: Aside from the drillhole, this beautiful 45 record is pristine Mint. The cool picture sleeve has a drillhole as well, but that's about it's only notable flaw. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

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.)

Label: Sire 29840
Year: 1982
Condition: M
Price: $16.00

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. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!
