Here's a beautiful copy of Dusty Springfield's first hit single, another of England's own making her way in the States. Besides the classic A side — one of the best tunes of the girl group era, which amazingly enough failed to crack the Billboard Top 10 — the flip could have been a hit too. Same big, Phil Spector-ish production backing her up, with Dusty belting out one of her own compositions. Note: This 45 record comes with a vintage Philips Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) looks Near Mint as well, and miraculously the grooves preserve pristine Mint sound, both sides! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

This recording is a personal favorite among B.J. Thomas hits. The ingredients are all perfect... the Chips Moman production, the American Studios musicians, the Mark James song, and the perfect B.J. Thomas touch. Plus that rhythm section that turns the whole thing into a Northern Soul dance-fest... Mmmm! I can almost fall for that New York woman myself! :-) The B side is a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Scepter Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Here's a beautiful Mint copy of this underrated single... The B side is a rare non-LP track. Collector Nerd Alert: The A-side track time shows as 2:74 on the label... The company was "fakin'" on the time, which is actually 3:14. Note: This 45 comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.

The B side of this essential Elvis Costello tune is a previously unreleased, non-LP cut that later appeared on the collection Taking Liberties. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.

Briggs was a white big-band singer... here she really rocks out in an RnB style, singing a Louis Jordan number from a couple of years before. Check out the mp3 "snippet" if you don't know the tune... Hope you love it as much as I do! By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and very nearly Mint vinyl and audio. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Listening to this huge Disco hit from 1979, I realized I had to get a copy into my iTunes. Having done that, I also wanted it in our online "jukebox"... so now it is: Enjoy! Not for nothing does Dave Marsh rank this single, among so many of Summer's hits, at #531 in his Top 1,001 list. (The other Summer single in Marsh's list is the 1980 "Cold Love," which places at #164.) This single contains a specially edited version of a 4:55 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Casablanca Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

This terrific Soul instrumental dancer, verging on Disco, grabbed me right away, so I made an mp3 "snippet" for our "jukebox"... Have a listen! The B side appears to be a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy has pristine sound.

Quirky as always, both musically and lyrically, this taut construct shows just how good this band was at building catchy rock tunes and at celebrating the elusive "wild life," a recurring theme in their songs. The B side is a non-album cut -- the "movie version" of a song that, like the A side, is from the group's album "True Stories." Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is Near Mint with a little top-edge wear.

This is one of the absolute best Techno singles of the 1980s... and its impossible to find! Besides the knockout A side, the flip is another 6:00 tour-de-force that will not disappoint. The picture sleeve is nearly flawless, and the 45 record itself has Near Mint labels with a little "bubbling." The audio is pristine Mint!

Label: Cadet Concept 7010
Year: 1968

Price: $35.00

The A side is a brash Psych Rock number well worth seeking out... have a listen to our mp3 jukebox "snippet" of it. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Chess/Checker/Cadet Records factory sleeve. It looks very close to Mint, and the audio sounds pristine!
