I Pretend I'm With You by Searchers
Label: Kapp 593
Year: 1964
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
If you wanna hear some truly great Power Pop, flip this one over and check out the B side (click on the "play" button to hear the audio from our mp3 "jukebox"). A definite A+ in my book! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Kapp Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint in appearance (Labels, Vinyl), and the grooves preserve pristine Mint sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.) -
Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste Of Honey
Label: Capitol 4565
Year: 1978
Condition: M-
Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale.
Essential disco... Remember that guitar? That break? It's always great to hear this one again. This big hit is specially edited from a 5:37 album track. Note: This copy has Mint labels and pristine sound, and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless! -
Fly, Robin, Fly by Silver Convention
Label: Midland Intl. 10339
Year: 1975
Condition: M
Price: $12.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Midland factory sleeve. This was the Convention's first hit single, and also their best! This is a copy of the second (and primary) pressing, which has a track length of 3:05 and "Tiger Baby" on the B side. (A less common earlier pressing has a track length of 3:45 and "Chains of Love" on the flip.) Both 45s have edited versions of the 5:31 album cut. I had to celebrate the great audio on this 45 with an mp3 "snippet" of it... Enjoy! Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). -
Paint Yourself In The Corner by Classic Sullivans
Label: Kwanza 7678
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $20.00
Two terrific Soul numbers. The A side charted, but the B side is something special... take a listen to our mp3 snippet! Note: This beautiful 45 has Mint labels. The B side audio is also pristine Mint. -
Ain't No Backing Up Now by Isis
Label: Buddah 475 dj
Year: 1975
Condition: M
Price: $9.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed Stereo/Mono promo copy, in its original factory sleeve. This is some terrific female funk, courtesy of New Orleans soul guru Allen Toussaint. -
Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Label: Pride 1015
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $14.00
Here's a beautiful copy of the first pressing of this terrific dance number, which was later released on the more commonly available MGM 14588. Note: This 45 record has Near Mint labels and, despite some surface scuffing, pristine Mint sound.
Customer Reviews
Ok… but where is the rest?
Nice songs but they are only 1:30-1:40 long (I don't get it?)
~ I get it now, small samples of songs (singles) that are for sale…
Awesomeness!
Great way to sample tons of tunes before buying them on 45. This 45 store is awesome particularly during a pandemic. It’s just like being in a store with all the details you need to make a decision!
Why these are snippets
As author of the podcast, I wanted to explain that these are "snippets" of songs I think very highly of, and I personally listen to my iTunes "jukebox" playlist daily. When I started doing this 10 years ago, I was concerned that loading full songs for free download would be violating copyright law. Not only that, but I'm paying for the downloads myself (not YouTube, for example), and it ain't cheap! If you have, like me, a somewhat short attention span, and if you love to hear a multitude of 5-star tunes in a variety of Pop music genres from the 1950s to the present -- some familiar, some surprises -- then I think you'll get a kick out of this podcast. Lately, the podcast has leaned heavily in the direction of Soul, because there's so much great, undiscovered Soul out there! But you'll find just about every style of popular music somewhere in the podcast. Happy music discovery! It's a big universe out there where 45 records are concerned... much larger than the universe of LPs or other 12-inch vinyl. So many great tunes were never pressed on 33 rpm, and the facsimiles that may appear on reissues (if they even exist) usually don't match up to the power of the audio on the original 45 rpm grooves. 'Nuff said. Enjoy!
