Classic 45's Jukebox podcast

Label: WB 29974 Year: 1982 Condition: M Price: $15.00 The A side is one of the best hits of the neo-Rockabilly wave that swept the U.S. and England in the early 1980's. With his note-perfect first album and great songwriting (produced by Richard Gottehrer, who served up so much great rock'n'roll froth in the 1960's with such acts as the Angels and McCoys), Crenshaw seemed like a new Buddy Holly. The non-LP B side, which Bette Midler later took up the charts, is credited to 'Marshall Crenshaw and the Handsome, Ruthless and Stupid Band.' Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).…

Little Red Corvette by Prince

—

Label: WB 29746 Year: 1983 Condition: M Price: $12.00 This is a terrific, specially 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, on the tan label with horizontal lines, has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).…

And Then There Was Skin by Cozy Powell

—

Label: Chrysalis 2029 Year: 1974 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 Absolutely incredible hard rock instrumentals led by drummer Powell. Powell did drumming duties for groups as varied as Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Emerson Lake & Powell, and Black Sabbath. After listening to the snippet of the excellent B side, just imagine how great the A side is! By the way, this single was a non-album cut: There was no Cozy Powell LP released in the mid-1970s. Note: This beautiful copy has very Mint labels, with pristine audio on the A-side.…

Label: Columbia 74197 Year: 1992 Condition: M Price: $12.00 From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Columbia factory sleeve. Kris Kross were a rap duo from Atlanta -- Chris "Mack Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mack" Smith. They were 14 and 15 when this catchy track was recorded. The A side is a "Radio Edit" of the 3:15 LP cut. The song isn't shorter than the LP cut, so the "Radio Edit" label must indicate a remix. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio)!…

Label: U.A. 370 Year: 1961 Condition: M- Price: $15.00 One of my all-time favorite Folk numbers, this song has been recorded many times over the years -- including at least two off the top of my head, by the Beach Boys and by CCR. This is one of the nicest stock copies I've yet had in the store since opening in 2001! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage United Artists Records factory sleeve. The labels grade very close to Mint, and the audio sounds almost flawless! The vinyl (styrene) has notable scuffing. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)…

My Sweet Love by John Cougar Mellencamp

Label: Hear 21053 Year: 2008 Condition: M Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale. This release highlights two tracks from Mellencamp's 2008 album, "Life Death Love and Freedom." The A side is simply one of the best rockabilly numbers Mellencamp has ever done! From what I can determine, this single was not released for general distribution, but rather was available as a special promo 7-inch only. This is only the fourth copy I've managed to get my hands on...…

Label: Satellite 107 Year: 1961 Condition: M- Price: $40.00 One of the greatest soul instrumentals of all time -- two incredible sides of a new sound that would eventually be labeled "funky soul." Satellite, by the way, shortly changed its name to Stax ... and the rest is history! Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels, a real rarity for this release. The vinyl has some light scuffs, grading a strong EX, while the grooves preserve strong, Near Mint sound.…

Label: Sire 29840 Year: 1982 Condition: M Last Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale. Terrific, almost-retro, power pop hit, backed with the very dark but beautiful 'My City Was Gone,' which incidentally places at #949 in Marsh's top 1001. That B side is an edited version of the 5:14 album cut. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!…

Golden Years by David Bowie

26 days ago

—

Label: RCA 10441 Year: 1975 Condition: M- Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale. This is one of Bowie's absolutely essential singles, and you'll find that it's a specially edited version that's about half a minute shorter than the album cut. Chart Nerd Alert: In the 1970s, Bowie released some of the very best music of his career, but he only had two Top 10 U.S. hit singles -- "Fame" (a chart-topper from earlier in 1975) and "Golden Years" (which peaked at #10). His career would take off even more strongly after 1983's hit album "Let's Dance," and he had four Top 10 U.S. hits in the 1980s (oh, all right: "Let's Dance," "China Girl," "Blue Jean," and "Dancing in the Street" (w/Mick Jagger). Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage RCA Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.…

I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher

—

Label: Atco 6359 Year: 1965 Condition: M- Price: $25.00 This is one of the nicest copies of this classic single that I've had to offer since opening the store in 2001... a solid Near Mint copy with Mint audio. Check out the mp3 "snippet". (Collector's note: This release is common in conditions less than Near Mint, but copies in truly collectable condition are quite rare.) It's also worth noting that this single appears on both the Dave Marsh Top 1,001 Singles (#228) and the Rolling Stone Top 500 Songs (#451) lists! That's one of the reasons it's hard to keep in stock! Also check out Sonny Bono's stab at Garage Rock on the B side... it's really pretty nasty! :-) Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with a touch of wear. The vinyl looks Near Mint with a few light scuffs, and the audio sounds pristine Mint.…

Label: Mustang 3014 Year: 1966 Condition: M Price: $40.00 This is one of the records, along with some of the early Beatles and many others, that demonstrated one way that rockabilly transitioned into a musical form that became known as Power Pop. Absolutely essential single -- note that both Rolling Stone (#177) and Dave Marsh (#102) put it high on their respective lists of the greatest singles ever made. Great B side, too!

Out Of Time by Chris Farlowe

5 weeks ago

—

Label: MGM 13567 Year: 1966 Condition: M- Price: $20.00 British singer Farlowe had success with a number of Jagger-Richards compositions in the mid-1960's, including this one also produced by Mick Jagger. Jagger has brought in arranger Art Greenslade for this recording, who adds some very effective and arty touches to the lesser-known Stones classic. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of the song. "Out Of Time" was on the U.K. version of the Stones LP Aftermath , but it was left off of the U.S. version for some reason, winding up on a compilation LP the following year. The Stones didn't release the song as a single, letting Farlowe's Jagger-produced version become a #1 hit in the U.K. and producing his only brush with the U.S. Hot 100. In the U.S., Farlowe's 45 was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).…

As one of the followups to his smash "Cherry Cherry" (his first top ten 10), it failed to catch fire despite the great sound, with Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich still at the production helm.

Label: Mercury 76189 Year: 1983 Condition: M Price: $10.00 If you own but one tune by these guys, this is definitely it! Irrepressibly joyful and infectiously tuneful, this one deserves its own place in the classic 45s "jukebox" ... so I'm adding a snippet. Now I can hear it more often! By the way, this U.S. single version is shorter than the 4:48 album track. It also differs from the U.K. version in both timing and, I believe, instrumentation. (I haven't heard the U.K. version.)
