Everybody knows the delightful A side, which was originally recorded by the Four Seasons and released as the B side of "Rag Doll". But this single is doubly pleasing! Be sure to turn this one over to hear the surprisingly punchy, very catchy B side! (We have a jukebox snippet of this one...) Note: The picture sleeve has some light ringwear as well as notable top-edge wear. The 45 itself has Mint labels and pristine sound.

This is one of the premier Rap songs from the early days of the genre... both sides were hits! These are both 'special radio edits' of the respective album cuts. The B side features Roxanne with UTFO. Note: This copy has Mint labels and pristine sound.

How could this incredibly catchy song have missed the notice of U.S. radio programmers? Good thing there are still copies like this one floating around out there! Note: This copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. The audio has an occaional touch of surface noise.

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).

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. Dave Marsh included this single in his 1999 addendum to the original list of 1001 greatest singles published in 1989. The B side is a non-album live recording made at the 1996 Grammies of a song that had hit #1m (Modern Rock chart) in 1995. Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. This is simply one of Carmen's very best singles outside of his work with the Raspberries: So tuneful, with such a propulsive beat it's gotta rate 2 stars! The only fault I can find is that the song should have been a much bigger hit than it was. And don't neglect the B side... it's another melt-in-your-mouth rocker from Carmen's debut album you must make part of your Carmen/Raspberries collection. By the way, the A side is an edited version of the 5:21 album track. Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: EMI 8382

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This terrific number was Hendryx's biggest hit... and deservedly so. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it. The A side is specially edited from a 5:02 album track, and the delightful flip is a non-album cut.

Label: London 251

This is a beautiful copy of the "sun rays" label London release, which has the group's previous single on the B side. This terrific rocker may not have gotten much airplay at the time, but have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" and tell me it's not one of ZZ Top's greatest tunes! Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage London Records factory sleeve. It grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). I heard a little surface noise near the beginning of the B side.

Label: Rolling Stones 19100

This is one of the greatest of the Stones two-sided monster hits. Well, the B side didn't actually chart, but it's so great it really should have. Presumably, radio just wasn't ready to play a song called "Bitch" yet... though they were prepared by 1975 when Elton John hit the Top 10 with "The Bitch Is Back." Note: This beautiful, Near Mint copy comes in a Rolling Stones "tongue" sleeve.

For comparison's sake, here are their #1 U.K. hits. You'll notice that the group gained monster popularity about a year earlier than they did in the U.S., same as the Beatles.
