One of the best songs of Parton's long career, and further evidence that she's one of the best country songwriters of all time -- and the best female songwriter for sure. Note: This promo copy comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve. The A label has light ringwear. The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the powerful audio is pristine Mint.

Here's a beautiful original pressing of this early Pitney/Spector masterpiece of doo-wop-style pop craft, in a Near Mint copy of the release's striking picture sleeve (see scan). (This is the second pressing on the tan/black Musicor label; first pressings are on the gray label.) Besides Pitney's performance, of course, what makes this recording truly special is Phil Spector's production chops -- one of his earliest "Wall of Sound" efforts. (He also produced the Pitney-penned flip.) Add to that the stunning music and lyrics by Gerry Goffin & Carole King, and you have the makings of a pop masterpiece. Note: The 45 itself has Mint labels, and the audio grades very close to Mint despite some light scuffing on the surface.

This Northern Soul number is truly a remarkable outing for Streisand... Not the sound she's best known for, but certainly pleasing! Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it. By the way, the tracks appeared on no Streisand album at the time, making this a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It looks Near Mint and has pristine Mint sound.

This is one of those lesser-known Miracles tunes that deserves better... Some folks may associate it with Stevie Wonder's relatively dreadful "Yester-You, Yester-Me...", but it shares nothing with that single but one word in the title. Credited to Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

This is one of two great, hard-to-find singles released from the Rockpile album Seconds of Pleasure. Rockpile was a band formed by Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Despite a couple of small, light scuff marks, the grooves retain pristine Mint audio.

What a terrific single... not only do you get an amazing cover of a great Buddy Holly classic, but the self-penned flip is what Power Pop dreams are made of! This was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful 45 has Near Mint labels. The vinyl also looks Near Mint, and the powerful audio sounds almost pristine! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Both sides of this classic 45 record are credited to Roy Orbison and The Candy Men. This is a nearly pristine copy, one of the finest I've yet had in the store since opening in 2001! Note: This record comes in a vintage Monument Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.

The hit A side is a delightful pop tune, but the real treasure here is the B side. (Yes, it's another one of those!) If you've ever felt a little awkward and out of place at a party, you'll know just what she's talking about! One of Mitchell's very best pieces of pure poetry... have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear what I mean. It's also one of those very short songs I sing the praises of -- she sings an entire volume in under 2 1/2 minutes! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Asylum Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: RSO 1039
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Price: $10.00

This is a beatiful copy, in its original RSO factory sleeve. Credited to "Eric Clapton And His Band." Note: This beautiful 45 has a little "bubbling" on the labels, which separately grade Near Mint. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Stereo/Mono promo copy. This early single was released from the same album and just before their breakthrough hit, 'Whip It.' Though it didn't get much radio play at the time, it's definitely one of their 'greatest hits.' Note: This beautiful promo 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
