This great duet with Buck Owens — a tribute to Owens' classic "Bakersfield" style of country music — became Yoakam's first #1 country hit. Note: This beautiful 45 has Near Mint labels and, although the 45 has clearly been played some on a jukebox, pristine Mint audio. The great picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

This collaboration grabbed me right away, and its hold has only gotten stronger with time. Have a listen to the mp3 snippet if you're not convinced! The picture sleeve shows the song's full lyrics on the back. The non-LP B side is "performed and composed by Queen." Note: This beautiful copy has a touch of storage wear on the A side label and vinyl, lowering those grades to Near Mint. Although the opening segment I auditioned sounded pristine, I'm grading the audio Near Mint since I haven't deep-cleaned it, and some small spots that look like fingerprints cause a touch of surface noise right at the end of the track. The picture sleeve is nearly flawless, with just one spot of color flaking on the front. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Here's a beautiful copy of my favorite Turtles song! Well, actually 'You Baby' is my favorite. I think. Well, they're real close, that's for sure! I took the opportunity of this copy's pristine Mint audio to make an mp3 "snippet", so you decide! :-) Collector Nerd Alert: I'm using the recorded song to determine the A side track time rather than the 2:17 (the album track length) that shows on the label. Note: This copy comes in a vintage White Whale Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels with a light touch of ringwear. The Vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched, with magical grooves that deliver pristine Mint sound.

This is one of the essential singles in the history of psychedelic rock. The flip is terrific too... I wonder how they got so paranoid? This is the first pressing, with the label name at the top of the label. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with a touch of ringwear. The vinyl (styrene) looks Near Mint, and the grooves preserve undistorted sound that grades very close to Mint.

Here's a beautiful promo copy of this obscure 1978 single, which impressed me so much I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. Enjoy! Note: This copy has very nearly Mint labels and vinyl (styrene), and pristine Mint audio.

This is the nicest original pressing of this Doo Wop classic I've ever offered in the store since opening in 2001. Its audio is so good I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. This copy is on the multicolor End label. The single was released in a large number of variations, including three different B side tunes. This variant has "Goodnight Sweetheart" on the flip, where the most common B side was "At The Prom." Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with a little "bubbling." Although the vinyl (styrene) has some light scuffing on the surface, the grooves are undamaged, with audio that grades very close to Mint.

This is a beautiful copy of one of my favorite Ruth Brown recordings. It's only flaw is that, at 2 minutes, 4 seconds, it's over far too soon. :-) Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. Its labels and vinyl grade very close to Mint in appearance, and the audio sounds pristine!

When this one came out, most radio programmers approached it as a novelty tune... which it was, of course... novel, that is. Today it's obviously just an incredibly great reggae track. The flip is an instrumental version of the song. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Ampex Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

This beautiful tune was Michael Nesmith's biggest post-Monkees hit, and one of my favorite songs of all time! :-) This release is credited to "Michael Nesmith & the First National Band." Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage RCA Victor Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
