Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: Liberty 56038

Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.

Here's a beautiful copy of this classic blues rocker, built on a riff made famous in 1949 by bluesman John Lee Hooker. This single is an edited version of a 5:01 album cut. The B side appears to be a non-album track. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Liberty Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint in appearance (Labels, Vinyl), and this styrene pressing has amazing, pristine Mint audio! This is very well mastered record... great ear-candy.

Here's a beautiful copy of the single that Dave Marsh ranks at #491 in his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n' Soul. And don't neglect the terrific B side... also essential Sir Douglas Quintet! By the way, this was a non-album single until Tribe released a "Greatest Hits" LP in 1966. Fortunately, that LP contains both of these great tracks. Note: This 45 record

has Near Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) looks only lightly touched. Miraculously, the fragile grooves preserve pristine Mint audio, both sides! The only notable flaw is a small scratch in the deadwax and label of the A side.

This was the group's first single recorded in the ascendent "Sound of Philadelphia", with Gamble, Huff, Thom Bell, and Bobby Martin at the helm. And it was a helluva indication that something great was about to come out of this old vocal group. Just listen to the unusual (for 1969) intro to the track, and then they follow up with that beat! Just superb Soul music! Note: This beautiful copy grades close to Mint in appearance (Labels, Vinyl). The audio sounds pristine Mint!

You can't do wrong with either side of this terrific single, which somehow escaped notice at Pop and Black/RnB radio when released in 1967, but I took a quick fondness to the B side ("Love Song"), which as I suspected is not available from the iTunes store or other online services. Have a listen to the mp3 snippet, and I hope it grabs you like it did me! (Never neglect to listen to a single's B side. Even though it's called a "single," nearly all of them (except for many promos) have at least 2 songs on them. Very often, the B side proves the test of time better than the A side, or it turns out to be deserving of as much attention as the A side at the least.) Note: This copy comes in a vintage Brunswick Records factory sleeve. The Mintish labels have a small "K" inked on them. The audio sounds pristine Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have a drillhole.)

Great track from this early female-led hard rock band. Contemporaries of Fanny.

Price: $12.50

This is the original version of the song produced by the songwriters themselves, not the one (recorded by Coven) that became the theme song from 'Billy Jack.' Frankly, this is not only the original, but also by far the best, version. Be sure to check out the uptempo, Northern Soul-style dancer on the flip. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Bell Records factory sleeve. The labels have a clean drillhole making them Near Mint. The vinyl (styrene) also grades Near Mint. Fortunately, the grooves preserve pristine Mint sound! (This scan is a representative image from our archives--the copy for sale has a drillhole)

From a warehouse find, these are new, unplayed copies. A well deserved hit from the early 1980's, this was the Kinks' last visit to the U.S. top 10. The A side is a specially edited version of the 4:34 album track, while the B side is a previously unreleased, non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: RCA 0385
Year: 1970
Condition: M-
Price: $10.00

This is absolutely brilliant early 1970s Soul, Philly-style. The uptempo A side is a Neil Sedaka cover and, amazingly, an excellent remake of a Guess Who song on the flip. The A side is specially edited from a 3:20 album track. Note: This beautiful 45 record comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Here's a beautiful copy of this early Soul vocal group single. These guys were walking down the same musical road that some of their Motown brothers in groups like the Temptations and Miracles were walking, and both sides are truly special. The A side is a midtempo toe-tapper, while the flip is a soulful ballad. Their sound still has some of the vocal ideas from Doo-Wop, but there's equal part ideas from Gospel. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet"! Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage King Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Terrific, sexy A side a la Mary Wells, and a scorching uptempo B side a la Martha & the Vandellas. This was a non-album single, whose sides were first released in 1964 on the Vivid label. Note: This beautiful 45 has Mint labels and pristine sound.
