From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original RCA factory sleeve. I've been in love with this tune since the very first time I heart Burton Cummings belting out that acapella intro back in '74. It's great to have a copy back in the store! The flip is an uncharacteristically hard rocker.

Here's a beautiful, rarely-seen copy of the original 1966 pressing of this Northern Soul classic. Actually, a lot of fans prefer the more uptempo B side... which definitely doubles the fun of this "single"! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear what I mean. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Brunswick Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl grade very close to Mint, and the audio sounds absolutely pristine!

Here's a beautiful copy of one of the very best Miracles recordings... and one of Smokey's greatest songs. Also, get ready to hear that true, BIG Motown sound on this little 45! By the way, this single's iconic A side was a non-album cut, available only on a later Greatest Hits album. To celebrate the pristine Mint sound you get from this 45, check out the mp3 "snippet" of it. Note: This 45 record has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Motown factory sleeve. The astounding audio makes this copy truly special.

Originally released on Soul 35090. This record gives me chills every time I listen to it... the sense of loss and the powerful reminiscence of childhood, mingled with the historical memories of America in the 1960's, is incredibly beautiful and sad at the same time. Indispensable! This reissue is now out of print... Last Mint copies.

Simply essential in the history of Rap/Hip Hop. The flip is a 'dub version' of the song. The A side is a dramatically shorter, specially edited version of the 7:10 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels, reflecting a touch of storage wear. The vinyl (styrene) looks untouched, and the audio is pristine Mint! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

This is a terrific edited cut from the 5:03 LP version, and it's this tune that ranks the highest of all the Prince singles in Dave Marsh's Top 1,001 Singles list. And as if the A side weren't reason enough to own this classic single, the B side is one of those super-special, non-LP cut offerings Prince managed to throw around for free on his 1980s singles. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve.

In case you have somehow avoided being infected by this acutely catchy tune, here's your opportunity! You can find an mp3 snippet of this in the Classic 45's jukebox! This Abba tune differs from most of their catalog in a couple respects: It's one of their rare A side tracks that features a male lead vocal (in this case, Bjorn Ulvaeus). It's also one of their few hard rockers, opening with that instantly memorable rhythm and punchy lead guitar. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Group factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint audio. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

This is not one of Mark James' biggest hits as a songwriter, but it's still pretty damn fine. The band does there usual solid workout in an arrangement that's similar to their classic "Soul Deep." Who's Mark James, you say? Why, he's only the Memphis songwriter who wrote classic hits like "Suspicious Minds," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Eyes of a New York Woman," and "Separate Ways." Another Alex Chilton-penned B side. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; the drillhole appears in a different spot on the label than shown.)

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. David & Jonathan are actually the songwriting team of Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, who penned many late '60's-early 70's British bubblegum/sunshine pop hits such as 'My Baby Loves Lovin' by the White Plains. Note that this single was produced by the Beatles' own George Martin.
