Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: Columbia HOF 33210
Year: 1971
Condition: M
Price: $9.00

Originally released as the B side of Columbia 45467. The group was pretty audacious to cover a tune that already had a definitive version, in this case by the Spencer Davis Group (featuring writer Steve Winwood). However, you must recall that Chicago was a damn good, multi-talented band back in 1971, full of creativity and genuine rock sensibilities. So they managed to make yet another definitive version. Most of the track is a celebration of the group's drummer and rhythm section, leading slowly back to guitarist Terry Kath's psych-rock chording. This is a beautiful copy of the red-label Columbia Hall of Fame reissue, in its Hall of Fame factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint audio.

This was the second attempt by RCA to get this great single played in the U.S.... and this time they got it into the top 40. It was first released a year earlier on RCA 9186. Both sides are essential listening! By the way, in the U.S. this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage RCA Victor Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint, very powerful audio.

Label: Capitol 2592

Credited to 'Joe South and The Believers' This is one of my all-time favorites, from a songwriter and singer who amazingly straddled the line between soul and country throughout the 1960's. A description of yearning that I think everyone can relate to, even now, 45 years later. The flip is a terrific power pop number. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and very nearly Mint-looking vinyl. The amazing Stereo audio sounds pristine!

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. This is one of the places in the late 1960s where Funk began to separate from Soul music. Note: Aside from the drillhole, this is a stone Mint copy.

Label: Atco 7008
Year: 1974
Condition: M
Price: $22.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original factory sleeve. One listen to this little dancer gem, and you'll be in love (with the song)! Note: Aside from the drillhole, these copies are pristine Mint. The placement of the drillhole varies, as does the presence and amount of "bubbling" on the labels. The wax and audio are uniformly in Mint condition.

Here's a beautiful copy of one of my personal favorite 45s ... Both because of the timeless A side, and the iconic folk-rock on the flip. Note: This 45 record comes with a vintage Atlantic Records sleeve. This vinyl pressing looks almost new and has Near Mint sound with almost no surface noise.

Wow! The A side is a decent cover of the Jerry Butler & Impressions classic, but wait'll you get a load of the powerhouse on the B side! Talk about a dance master... you'll have 'em up on the floor in no time flat. Check out the mp3 "snippet"! Note: This beautiful copy has two small drillholes and comes in a vintage Bell Records factory sleeve. The vinyl grades very close to Mint in appearance, and the powerful audio is stone Mint!

One of my all-time favorite folk numbers, this song has been recorded many times over the years — including at least two off the top of my head, by the Beach Boys and by CCR. This is one of the nicest stock copies I've yet had in the store since opening in 2001! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage United Artists Records factory sleeve. The labels grade very close to Mint, and the audio sounds almost flawless! The vinyl (styrene) also grades Near Mint with just a little scuffing. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Stereo/Mono promo copy. Well, this one is just too good to let waste away in obscurity. Probably too poppy for Foghat's usual fans, it still sports some top-notch guitar work. And it's an absolutely perfect little slice of power pop! The picture sleeve has a great group photo on the back, as well as the full song lyrics. It has pristine Mint audio.

Label: Musicor 1251
Year: 1967
Condition: M-
Price: $28.00

This is one of the group's very best uptempo dance tunes from the late 1960's. It was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Musicor Records factory sleeve. The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint!
