Classic 45's Jukebox

Label: Maxwell 805
Year: 1970
Condition: M
Price: $8.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Maxwell factory sleeve. "So Much Love" wasn't a huge hit, but have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" and see if you don't think it deserved better. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Atco 6668
Year: 1969
Condition: M-
Last Price: $24.00. Not currently available for sale.

George Harrison, who cowrote the song, also plays guitar on this great track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The audio has a touch of underlying surface noise.

Label: Diamond 221
Year: 1967
Condition: M
Price: $25.00

Note that both sides of this one were written by Neil Diamond, who also produced the A side. Great stuff... both have hooks to spare that just won't get out of your head once they get in! Note: This beautiful copy has Mint labels and pristine sound.

Label: Capitol 2068
Year: 1967

This is a beautiful copy of a great Beach Boys single, featuring a B side that could have been an A side on its own, taken from the Pet Sounds LP. Chock full of Brian Wilson production surprises, like his best work. I've been seeking a nice copy of this single ever since the A side was featured on the "Big Bang Theory" TV show. I really love that line "You soften my life with your love, your precious love..." Note: This 45 record comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.

Label: EMI 8140
Year: 1982

Here's a beautiful copy of this hard-to-find, but essential George Thorogood single, which has a specially edited version of a longer (4:58) album cut. The B side is a previously unreleased live version of a Chuck Berry song from the same album. Note: This 45 record comes in an original picture sleeve, which is bright, shiny, and crispy with limited notable wear.

Label: WB 5199
Year: 1961

What a great single! Both sides hit the Billboard Top 10, and the B side (which was the slightly bigger hit) is an enduring classic written by Sonny Curtis, lead guitarist and vocalist for the post-Buddy Holly Crickets, who also penned the epic "I Fought The Law." Note: This beautiful copy has pristine Mint labels and untouched-looking vinyl; the audio is Mint as well. The picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

Label: Columbia 10632
Year: 1977
Condition: M-
Price: $30.00

This was the Baltimore, Md., group's first chart single, and ended up being their biggest hit as well. I think it's my favorite track of theirs... check out the mp3 "snippet" in our jukebox! The A side is specially edited from a 4:22 album track. The flip is an EWF-style instrumental. Note: This beautiful 45 record comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It looks Near Mint and has powerful, pristine Mint sound. The B label has a "Demonstration-Not For Sale" stamp on it.

Label: RCA 07863
Year: 1995

Price: $20.00

I'm sorry, but your collection simply isn't complete without this original version of "Macarena." (FYI, this "Bayside Boys Mix" version of the LP cut clocks at 3:52. The LP version is 4:12.) Even if you got sick of it back in the day, you will regret not listening to "Macarena" again after the passage of a few years. As the Borg would say (sorry, Star-Trek-nerd alert), "Resistance is futile!" :-) Besides, the flip of this already-essential single is yet another must-own by Scatman John. So this is one powerful little 7-inch record! Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). Incredible sound. It's pressed on translucent black vinyl.

Label: Mercury 880213

The Everly's last hurrah, this unsung classic features the perfect pop sensibilities of Paul McCartney, who wrote the song, and the loving Rockabilly/Retro sensibilities of Dave Edmunds, who produced it. A perfect vehicle for the Everly Brothers, it's only fault is that it's just too short! How it failed to crack the top 40 in a year when retro rockabilly was still quite popular is an enduring mystery. It did just as poorly in the U.K. Note: This beautiful copy has pristine sound.

Credited to "Eric Burdon & The Animals," this is the group's finest foray into psychedelic rock. Every time I hear the opening guitar growl, it's obvious where Black Sabbath got the inspiration for the similar opening growl to "Iron Man." Now in the Classic 45's jukebox, cause it's one of those nuggets that just doesn't get played often enough. The big mystery to me is why Dave Marsh left it off his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n'Soul. It would definitely be on my list (if I ever make one!) For one thing, this is a single that was not included on any contemporary Animals album ? this was a previously unreleased, non-LP single. The two sides eventually got added to an Animals compilation CD, but you won't find them anywhere on vinyl (to my knowledge) except on this little 45 record. (And may I say how incredible the audio is? Stunning doesn't come close!) Note: This beautiful copy grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
