Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: WB 29746

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.)

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).

Besides the classic A side track, this single has a terrific Rockabilly B side as well... more great guitar picking! Check out the mp3 "snippet" of the A side. That B side, by the way, appears to be a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels and vinyl. The powerful audio plays very close to Mint.

This is the greatest rock'n'roll version of one of my very favorite Country tunes. It's been covered many times in many styles, but with its terrific rockabilly guitar break, this one's something special. The flip is also in my iTunes library, a tuneful ballad in a Ricky Nelson/Buddy Holly sorta style. FYI, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), with only very minor flaws. The vinyl has very light surface noise.

This one deserved much more airplay than it got at the time... I guess Sedaka seemed kind of anachronistic in the summer of the Beatles. This would have been a great hit for the Four Seasons, clearly... a really wonderful uptempo Sedaka classic with a great B side too. Check out the mp3 "snippet" to hear for yourself! By the way, this was a non-album single. 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).

Here's a beautiful promo copy of this great two-sided Surf/Cars single. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of the B side! Note: The 45 itself grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The cool picture sleeve grades Near Mint with a couple of minor flaws... a small drillhole and a faint round stain near the top (see scan).

This single struggled to reach the Top 40, though it should have been a much bigger hit. We know that today, of course, as it's one of three of their 45s to be included in Dave Marsh's classic 1,001 list. This is why I keep a copy it in the jukebox ? it's that good!

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.)

This is gorgeous copy of the Supremes' break-out, first #1 hit single. Listening to the jaw-dropping audio (check out the mp3 "snippet") reminds me of how big and bright Motown managed to mix their hits for vinyl in the 1960s. What you hear on albums, CDs, and reissue 45s just doesn't come close! This 45 comes in a Near Mint copy of the release's rarely seen picture sleeve. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and pristine sound.

Terrific sax-led RnB rocker. Note: This beautiful copy grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
