Besides the essential classic track on the A side, be sure to check out the fine bit of reggae on the flip! Tasty! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

The A side is so terrific I had to have an mp3 "snippet" of it in our online "jukebox"... so have a listen! The B side is a darker, snarly reading of the Spirit classic. Well worth adding to your collection! By the way, the group had no albums... just this and perhaps one other single. And you won't find the tune in iTunes or Spotify... you gotta get the 45! Note: This beautiful promo copy comes in a vintage Music Merchant Records factory sleeve. The audio sounds pristine Mint!

This is far from an obscure soul nugget (which I usually reserve the Classic 45s jukebox for), but I got serious goosebumps when playing it today and realized I just don't hear it often enough! Dave Marsh has it pegged just right, slipping it in the top 100 of his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul — a triumph for both the singer and for the writer/producers and their nascent Philly Soul style. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint audio and nearly Mint labels and vinyl (styrene).

Label: Columbia 44296
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Price: $11.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. This copy has some label wear due to storage, especially on the B side. Speaking of the B side, this is a wonderful, almost folk-like love song, a stark contrast to the seriously great funk on the A side. These guys really had range! Styrene pressing.

Here's a beautiful Mint copy of this less-well-known (but still awesome!) Aretha Franklin single. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Renee 5001
Year: 1968
Condition: M
Price: $25.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. Terrific, sexy A side a la Mary Wells, and a scorching uptempo B side a la Martha & the Vandellas. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Diamond 221 dj
Year: 1967
Condition: M
Price: $25.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original Diamond Records factory sleeve. Note that both sides were written by Neil Diamond, who also produced the A side. Great stuff! The B side ("Put My Mind...") is sought-after by Northern Soul fans. By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful promo 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Co & Ce 229
Year: 1965

How is it that a vocal group from Pennsylvania got a crack at this great tune penned by then-popular Petula Clark and hubby Tony Hatch before Petula did? Her version of "You're The One" did chart as a single in the U.K., but only a couple of months after The Vogues release on Co & Ce. And don't forget, this essential Vogues recording had already been released on the small label Blue Star, which is what brought the group to the attention of slightly larger Co & Ce. (I suspect that Petula recorded this as a cut on one of her albums, and that's how the Vogues discovered it.) By the way, the reason I call this Power Pop rather than Sunshine Pop is because of the awesome electric guitar lead — it's a signature of the evolving Power Pop sound. Note: This beautiful copy has a small drillhole on the Near Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) likewise grades Near Mint. The A side audio isn't Mint, but it's close. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Dunhill/ABC 4138

Besides the classic A side, this single is doubly wonderful because of the great garage-rock nugget hiding on the B side. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet"! The A side is an edited version of a 3:28 album track. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels and audio. The vinyl has some light wear along the outer edges, lowering the vinyl grade to a strong EX. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
