Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: Imperial 66216

Price: $20.00

To understand why this terrific single is so sought-after (and hard to find!), check out the mp3 "snippet" for the B side (which by the way isn't available through iTunes or other online services for some reason): "House on Soul Hill" is one for the ages! Note: This copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Imperial Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl, and the audio sounds pristine.

Here's a beautiful copy of this obscure 1968 single, with a cover of "Lookin' For A Love" on the A side. Nice flip as well. Note: This 45 record grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

If you own but one tune by these guys, this is definitely it! Irrepressibly joyful and infectiously tuneful, this one deserves its own place in the classic 45s "jukebox" ... so I'm adding a snippet. Now I can hear it more often! 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 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

David Bowie's Pop instincts were running full tilt in the studio the day this one was recorded... Great stuff! This is the limited-edition release on clear blue vinyl. Note: The picture sleeve is Near Mint with a touch of top-edge wear. The 45 record itself has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Int'l Artists 128

Here's an unusually clean copy of this essential Garage/Psych hit. The flip is another argument for ALWAYS checking out B sides... this single is an amazing value in one small package! Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original factory sleeve. Sunshine Pop lovers of the world unite! Here's a Greenaway-Cook rarity that will keep your toe tappin' and your mouth smilin'. This was the group's last single on Co & Ce, and unfortunately never made it onto Top 40 playlists. When MGM picked up the Co & Ce catalog, they released this one Vogues single. It would be a year and a half before the group re-emerged on Warner Bros.' Reprise label to score a couple of hits in 1968-69. Note: This copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve.

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, although clearly "Abraham" isn't "Hard Rock/Metal" :-) Released only as the B side (not available on the album) to a familiar and comforting anthem, in "Daddy Rollin," as Marsh says:Haunted electric guitars clang and clash against one another, drums pound in from another room, uniting in a wad of noise symbolizing nothing but spelling out pain and fear... It was the scariest music Dion ever made...

What a terrific single... not only do you get an amazing cover of a great Buddy Holly classic, but the self-penned flip is what Power Pop dreams are made of! This was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful 45 has Near Mint labels. The vinyl also looks Near Mint, and the powerful audio sounds almost pristine! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Here's a beautiful copy of this early Sam Cooke classic... one of the nicest I've had in the store since opening in 2001! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to recall what a great tune this is. It comes in a Near Mint copy of the release's cool picture sleeve. Note: The 45 itself grades Mint in appearance (Labels, Vinyl), and the audio plays very close to Mint.
