Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: RSO 1039
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Price: $10.00

This is a beautiful copy, in its original RSO factory sleeve. Credited to "Eric Clapton And His Band." This 45 record grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), with the audio being very close to mint.

Label: WB 8518
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Price: $8.00

This is a beautiful stock copy, in its original Warner/Reprise factory sleeve. The A side is a simply must-have Gordon Lightfoot song... have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" if you don't know the tune. Fine B side as well.

Label: Casino 102
Year: 1958
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00

This is one of the all-time greatest uptempo Doo Wop numbers. This is a beautiful copy of one of the later issues on the black/silver Casino label, with the label name in six playing cards and no text indicating national distribution by Gone Records. Note: The labels grade Near Mint with a small mar on the A label. The vinyl grades Near Mint with some surface scuffs, and the audio is pristine Mint (have a listen to the mp3 "snippet"). (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have the label flaws shown.)

This is an awesome, psych-rock cover of Neil Diamond's hit from the previous year. This 3:57 track is an edited version of the 4:44 album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Tetragrammaton Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint labels and audio. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Here's a single that I would have included in a list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of all time, though Dave Marsh (see his list under "Collect A List" in the left-hand column of the site) didn't. It would not only be on my list, it would be high up there, perhaps in the top 100! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet", especially if you don't already know this classic, whose sound straddles Garage Rock, Northern Soul, and what I call Horn Rock. The flip isn't quite as stunning, but it's a fine keeper nonetheless. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with a light touch of wear. And although I'm grading the Vinyl a strong EX, the audio gets a Near Mint grade... incredible sound, really.

Label: Phil. Int'l. 3521
Year: 1972

Price: $12.00

Listening to this Philly Soul classic again today, I was thinking that the spark of genius at work here, in the collaboration among Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Bobby Martin, is precisely the same as that which gave life to the Motown genius of producer/writers like Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, with miracles of Soul music such as "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations. Anyway, what I mean is... I love it! Not on the Rolling Stone, Dave Marsh or Kev Roberts lists? I think I'm hearing something those guys don't, cause to me this is a 2-star recommendation (our highest)! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Philadelphia Int'l Records factory sleeve. It looks very close to mint (Labels, Vinyl) and has gorgeous, Near Mint audio, held back by the quiet intro having a touch of underlying surface noise.

Label: 20th Century 2069
Year: 1973

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.

Label: Buddah 507 dj
Year: 1975

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.)

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.)

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).
