Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: Motown 1159
Year: 1969
Condition: M
Price: $14.00

Underrated at the time, and still not getting the airplay it deserves, both sides of this 1969 Four Tops single are uptempo Northern Soul delights. Check out the mp3 "snippet" for the A side. Note: This beautiful 45 record comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Sire 28630
Year: 1986
Condition: M
Price: $12.00

The terrific B side is specially edited from a much longer (6:34) album version. Note: The 45 itself is pristine Mint in all respects (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless.

Label: Atlantic 1023
Year: 1950

Price: $15.00

This is a new copy of the yellow-label pressing from the 1970s, on the same catalog number. This early Ruth Brown single is credited to "Ruth Brown & Delta Rhythm Boys."

Label: Roulette GG-135
Year: 1969

Price: $8.00

The A side was originally released on Dunhill/ABC 4217. The magnificent B side, however, was never before released on 45 rpm. It appeared on a 1969 Grass Roots LP, and it surely would have been a hit as a single! Have a listen to the mp3 jukebox snippet and see what I mean. This is a new copy of the Roulette reissue, in its factory sleeve.

Label: Avco 4625
Year: 1973
Condition: M
Price: $14.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in a vintage Avco Records factory sleeve. Like so many 45s of the 1970s and 1980s, this one has an edited version of a longer -- in this case, 4:27 -- album track. Note: This copy has light storage wear that lowers the Label grade to Near Mint. The wax and audio are pristine. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: WB 7733
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $14.00

The A side is swinging Northern Soul at its danceable best! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It looks new (Labels, Vinyl), but the audio has light surface noise that keeps it a weak Near Mint.

Label: Buddah 383
Year: 1973

This great record is well deserving of its high position in Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. I'm not sure that it wouldn't be even higher in my personal list... simply a perfect record. By the way, this hit version is specially edited from a somewhat longer (4:38) album track. This release has an instrumental version of the song on the B side. (Another version of the release has a different song on the B side.) Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Buddah Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.

Label: Arista 0139 dj
Year: 1975

Price: $18.00

Stereo/Mono promo copy. This is one seriously great dance number, with a powerful sense of menace that you don't normally find in Disco music... Which is why I've decided to put it in the Philly Soul genre instead. No matter... it's a must-have 1975 rarity. Group is New York duo Mike Felder (guitar) and Bill Daniels (piano). They didn't make an album, just a couple of singles, which is why you won't find this tune in Apple Music, Spotify, or other primarily-album-based services. This promo has a somewhat shorter version than on the retail release. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Arista Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

This is one of this group's finest singles. It's not only got the familiar Garage-style hit on the A side, but you'll find a neat, catchy, Beatlesque rocker on the flip. Great package! I'm glad to see Dave Marsh includes it in his list, because if it weren't there it would definitely get 2 stars from me! :-) I hope you enjoy the mp3 snippet as much as I do. Speaking of which, fans of short songs take note: "There She Goes" has a clock time of only 1:45! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve, which has no notable flaws. This vinyl pressing has Mint labels and pristine sound.

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. The terrific B side is specially edited from a much longer (6:34) album version. Despite notable scuffing on the vinyl, the audio is a strong Near Mint. The picture sleeve is also Near Mint with the beginning of a bottom split seam, light top edge wear and some ringwear in the white background areas of the sleeve.
