Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: Pride 1015
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $14.00

Here's a beautiful copy of the first pressing of this terrific dance number, which was later released on the more commonly available MGM 14588. Note: This 45 record has Near Mint labels and, despite some surface scuffing, pristine Mint sound.

Label: Atco/WMOT 7056
Year: 1976
Condition: M
Price: $10.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Atco Records factory sleeve. This single features two top-notch, uptempo Philly-style tracks from a Baltimore soul group. The A side is specially edited from a 5:57 album version. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Salsoul 2026
Year: 1977
Condition: M
Price: $16.00

Both sides of this single are terrific, uptempo Philly-style soul. Not noted on the label, this is a major edit to the 5:07 LP version, an edit, by the way, which you won't find in iTunes. All you can find there is the LP version, which for some reason iTunes says clocks at 5:50 and another version that clocks at 3:59, both much longer than this 2:53 version. Note: This beautiful copy has Mint labels and audio, and nearly Mint vinyl (styrene).

I was so moved by "The Time" that I had to quickly get a snippet into the jukebox for frequent listening. But I don't want to neglect the full-throttle Memphis soul number on the flip as well, which by the way is a non-album cut.. Note: This styrene pressing has pristine audio. The labels have a little "bubbling" of the paper, grading Near Mint overall.

Label: Shamley 44004
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00

This unusual and wonderful number grabbed me right away, so I've put a snippet of it into the Classic 45s jukebox... have a listen! Having listened to the snippet a number of times now, I'm raising our rating to 2 stars, our highest recommendation. Note: This beautiful copy Near Mint labels and nearly pristine-looking vinyl. The audio is so close to Mint I'm calling it that. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have a drillhole.)

Label: Motown 1321 dj
Year: 1974
Condition: M-
Price: $16.00

Stereo/Mono promo copy. This amazing, compelling instrumental is simply too "different" to describe in words... so have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" and see if you don't come away wanting to hear more! As I say, really compelling! By the way, I checked, and this is getting added to my growing list of "lost tunes"... songs that aren't available in iTunes. Also, there was a vocal version of this number, but apparently Motown decided to promote the backing instrumental over the vocal version at some point. In any case, no album was ever released for this group, so this is a non-album single. Note: This beautiful promo 45 has very nearly Mint labels and vinyl, and pristine Mint audio.

Label: Alston 4595
Year: 1971
Condition: M-
Price: $18.00

Here's a beautiful copy of one of the hottest, funkiest singles of 1971. Play this one at a dance party some time if you want to get folks onto their feet! Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it if you don't know it already... or just to hear it again! Note: This copy, on the dark green Alston label, comes in a vintage Atlantic/Atco factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with just a very light touch of wear. The vinyl looks barely touched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Dunhill/ABC 4309
Year: 1972
Condition: M-
Price: $10.00

Kay was the leader of Steppenwolf. This is a terrific and surprising cover of the Hank Snow classic. It's wholly original, bearing no resemblance to either the original nor to Ray Charles' iconic version. Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC/Dunhill Records factory sleeve.

Label: Mercury 71383
Year: 1958
Condition: M
Price: $50.00

A more sublime recording is hard to think of... Check out the mp3 "snippet". This is a particularly beautiful copy with pristine audio. By the way, the B side is a non-album cut. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Capitol 4048
Year: 1958
