    davidbowie1_p.pngLabel: EMI 8231
    Year: 1984
    Condition: M-
    Price: $14.00

    David Bowie's pop instincts were running full tilt in the studio the day this one was recorded... Great stuff! This is the limited-edition release on clear blue vinyl. Note: The picture sleeve is Near Mint with a touch of ringwear. The audio is pristine Mint!

  • Guitar Town by Steve Earle
    steveearle4.jpgLabel: MCA 52856
    Year: 1986
    Condition: M-
    Last Price: $8.00. Not currently available for sale.

    Yeah, I know this is a Country song, but it's also retro-Rockabilly in my book. Whatever you call it, it's so perfect it just cries out for an mp3 "snippet" in our jukebox... so here is one: Have a listen! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage MCA Records factory sleeve.

  • Feel Alright by Komiko
    komiko2_p.pngLabel: Sam 5025
    Year: 1982
    Condition: M
    Price: $50.00

    From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. According to Joel Whitburn, Komiko was a studio group put together by Gary Turner of Gary's Gang fame. This is a striking Techno/Disco number that's hard to find and in great demand. Check out the mp3 "snippet" to hear why! The B side is an instrumental version. Collector Nerd Alert: The guy who did the mastering signed his name in the "dead wax" at the end of the track. There was no album, but the 12-inch release has a 7:30 version and a shorter version that's still much longer than this specially edited one. Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

  • Late In The Evening by Paul Simon
    paulsimon1_ps.jpgLabel: WB 49511
    Year: 1980
    Condition: M
    Price: $14.00

    From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is one of my all-time favorite Paul Simon tracks... those irresistable Latin rhythms and horns makes it a dance dynamo! The picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

  • Go Where You Wanna Go by Fifth Dimension
    5thdimension15_p.pngLabel: Soul City 753
    Year: 1967
    Condition: M
    Price: $25.00

    Here's a beautiful copy of the group's first chart single ? and my personal favorite of their catalog. Note that it's written by none other than John Phillips ? the lead Papa who wrote such classics as "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin." The flip is an uncharacteristic Northern Soul dancer with a great beat and lead vocal by one of the guys rather than Marilyn McCoo. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and pristine sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

  • Hole In My Pocket by Barry Goldberg
    barrygoldberg5.jpgLabel: Buddah 59
    Year: 1968
    Condition: M
    Last Price: $12.00. Not currently available for sale.

    Credited to 'Barry Goldberg Reunion.' This essential garage/psych-rock nugget was Goldberg's only chart single, and this may be the nicest copy I've yet had in the store. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Buddah Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine audio.

  • Show Biz Kids by Steely Dan
    steelydan21_p.pngLabel: ABC 11382
    Year: 1973
    Condition: M-
    Price: $14.00

    One of the best early Steely Dan numbers, this is a great, specially edited version of the 5:21 LP cut. Check out our jukebox "snippet" of it. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage ABC/Dunhill Records factory sleeve. It has light storage wear and a drillhole on the Labels. The audio sounds pristine.

  • Still In Love With You Baby by Beau Brummels
    beaubrummels9_p.pngLabel: Autumn 8
    Year: 1965
    Condition: M-
    Price: $20.00

    This is a beautiful copy of the group's first hit single. By the way, the flip side is incredibly strong... hard to say which side I like better! I'm putting the B side in the "jukebox," since it's likely that fewer of you have heard it. Enjoy! Note: This 45 record has Mint labels and nearly untouched-looking vinyl. The audio also grades close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

  • Fancy by Bobbie Gentry
    bobbiegentry6.jpgLabel: Capitol 2675
    Year: 1969
    Condition: M-
    Price: $12.00

    My very favorite Bobbie Gentry song... an absolutely compelling picture of a desperate girl's rise from poor white trash to the satin-sheet luxury life. Plus those horns! Those strings! Those words! That voice! This single version is slightly edited from a 4:15 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and very nearly Mint vinyl and audio.

  • My Babe by Ronnie Dove
    ronniedove9_p.pngLabel: Diamond 221 dj
    Year: 1967
    Condition: M
    Price: $20.00

    From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original Diamond Records factory sleeve. Note that both sides were written by Neil Diamond, who also produced the A side. Great stuff! The B side ("Put My Mind...") is sought-after by Northern Soul fans. By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful promo 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
