This single has two terrific uptempo sides, but it's the B side ("Who Who") that really grabbed my attention on first listening. Have a listen to the mp3 snippet to hear why! Note: This copy has a small drillhole. The vinyl looks Near Mint, and the audio grades close to Mint as well.

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Double Shot 138
Year: 1969
Condition: M
Price: $10.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. A great uptempo two-sided smash from this legendary soul band. Credits include "Featuring Billy & Barbara". Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

The group's followup to the great "There Is" has a great deal to recommend it... both sides are terrific and feature some amazing production experiments by Bobby Miller. By the way, the A side is slightly edited from a 3:22 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Chess/Checker/Cadet Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels, and the vinyl looks untouched. I'm grading the audio Near Mint to reflect very light native vinyl surface noise, mostly inaudible once the music starts.

Dave Marsh was right to give this great Madonna hit such a high ranking in his list of the 1001 greatest singles every made... it's a perfect pop confection and a gorgeous blend of 1980's dance rock and 1960's girl group rock. This is a like-new copy of the limited edition pressing on clear blue vinyl. The picture sleeve is also distinguished from retail copies by having "Limited Edition Blue Vinyl Pressing" printed on the left-hand side of the front cover (see scan). The B side is a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The picture sleeve, unfortunately, has a largish split seam at the bottom edge. The sleeve has no other signs of wear. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

This Rock masterpiece failed to get much airplay, but it's one of the group's very best singles... Not to be missed! I've made an mp3 "snippet" of this long track, but keep in mind that I had to edit some of the beginning to get a decent snippet that does the song justice. The B side is a previously unreleased, non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Capitol 5587
Year: 1966
Condition: M-
Price: $90.00

This is a beautiful copy of the original 1966 release on the yellow/orange swirl Capitol label; no 'Subsidiary of Capitol' perimeter print. This one is worth praising for the terrific guitar bits Harrison concocts, blueprints for the guitar-driven Power Pop sound that coalesces in the 1970s and continues to this day. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear it. Collector Nerd Alert: The B side is credited to Lennon-McCartney and does not include Starkey on this release. Both sides appeared on the band's "Rubber Soul" album. Note: This copy comes in a nearly flawless picture sleeve. The 45 itself has Mint labels, and the audio sounds Mint as well.

Was there ever a more perfect Power Pop single? Oh, I suppose so, but this one sure helps define the genre framed by the Beatles and other Brit-Poppers. This rarely seen picture sleeve is the only one released in the U.S. for a Badfinger single. Note: This beautiful 45 record grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The great picture sleeve grades a strong Excellent with a little top-edge wear including one tiny tear.

This great single is specially edited from a much longer (6:54) album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve. It grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

This was the group's first big hit in the U.S. An oddly compelling song, I shudder at the thought that I might actually like it... and then realize that teenagers are rediscovering Queen, and this song is a cult hit all over again. Still, there's no argument that the flip side is a must-have glam-era rocker. Even if you can't stand "Mama Mia!" and so on, you gotta love "The machine of a dream?"... Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of it! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Elektra/Asylum Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels, and the Vinyl looks almost untouched. The audio grades close to Mint, but on the A side there is a faint touch of underlying surface noise in the quiet segments.
