Classic 45's Jukebox

Stereo/Mono promo copy. Not a huge hit, but definitely deserving of more airplay than it got... Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to see why I rate it so highly. By the way, this promo is quite special in that it has a full Stereo version as well as the Mono, which was on the retail release. Note: This beautiful copy has a touch of ringwear on the Mono label but no other notable flaws. The audio is pristine Mint.

This relentlessly catchy dancer, penned by none other than Billy Swan, always manages to cheer me up... Enjoy! This copy comes in the release's original picture sleeve. The B side appears to be a non-album recording. Note: This beautiful copy looks very close to Mint (Labels, Vinyl). The audio sounds pristine Mint, and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

I'm sorry, but your collection simply isn't complete without this original version of "Macarena." (FYI, this "Bayside Boys Mix" version of the LP cut clocks at 3:52. The LP version is 4:12.) Even if you got sick of it back in the day, you will regret not listening to "Macarena" again after the passage of a few years. As the Borg would say (sorry, Star-Trek-nerd alert), "Resistance is futile!" :-) Besides, the flip of this already-essential single is yet another must-own by Scatman John. So this is one powerful little 7-inch record! Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). Incredible sound. It's pressed on translucent black vinyl.

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy... pristine Mint! Do the Black Crowes top Otis Redding's original version of this tune? Ahh, who cares... they're so different, and both so great that it's impossible to choose. I'd be happy with either one on a desert island, myself. :-) The terrific B side rocker is a non-album cut... one of the reasons you gotta collect the 45! Last Mint copy!

This great cover of the Joe South tune (originally recorded by Billy Joe Royal) is backed with a brooding, tuneful rock track that will quickly become a favorite! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Tetragrammaton Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and nearly untouched-looking vinyl (styrene). The audio sounds pristine on both sides except for a brief period during the quiet intros when a faint touch of surface noise is audible.

The B side of this single is even better than the A side... great, dirty garage rock (it's the B side that earns two stars from us). Take a listen! Note: This beautiful copy has Mint labels except for the drillhole. The vinyl (styrene) looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint! The cool picture sleeve has a small drillhole but is otherwise nearly flawless!

One of Jackson's finest singles, Kev Roberts puts this one at #100 in his list of the 500 greatest Northern Soul 45s. And for good reason! Check out the mp3 "snippet". Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Spring Records factory sleeve. This record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio) (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Philly Groove 175

Price: $12.00

Absolutely essential proto-Disco dance number... not to be missed! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Bell Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and pristine sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

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. Note: This beautiful copy has pristine audio. It comes in a nearly flawless picture sleeve.

If you own but one tune by these guys, this is definitely it! This copy has the first-pressing "skyscrapers" Mercury label, and it comes in a gorgeous copy of the release's picture sleeve. By the way, this U.S. single version is shorter than the 4:48 album track. It also differs from the U.K. version in both timing and, I believe, instrumentation. (I haven't heard the U.K. version.) Note: This beautiful 45 has Mint labels and pristine sound. The picture sleeve looks Near Mint but has a split-seam at the bottom edge.
