Simply amazing. You can bet a whole truckload of producers and musicians took notes when this baby hit the streets... and they're still doing it today. For Brown, of course, it was just another step in the path he was leading toward Funk. This original release has the orange King label with James Brown's picture on it. It has stereo audio. Note: The labels have a touch of ringwear, grading Near Mint, and the vinyl looks only lightly touched. The audio is huge and Near Mint... true musical genius!

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 1980's singles. The audio is turns to mint after the quiet intro.

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.

This single was not released on any contemporary LP... it was a non-album 45. This is a Mint stock copy of the U.S. release, in its original picture sleeve. Now here's a guy who had an original thought in his head... yes, it was a strange thought, but if you happen to like strange, you'll be in heaven!

This is a beautiful stock copy in its original picture sleeve. This is one of the essential Squeeze singles. Not only do you get the great A side featuring one of Paul Carrack's best vocals ever, but also a terrific, previously unreleased B side. Note that Elvis Costello was co-producer of these tracks. "Tempted" was one of many fine recordings from their top-notch LP, East Side Story. Though the group had been huge in their native U.K. for several years, that album was the first one to garner any attention State-side, and this was their first chart single here. (Though, oddly, it wasn't even released on 45 rpm in the U.K.!) The single has a slightly edited version of the 4:02 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in its gorgeous picture sleeve grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio)

This is one of Bowie's absolutely essential singles, and you'll find that it's a specially edited version about half a minute shorter than the 4:00 album cut.

In case you were wondering, it's the B side of this Folk classic that got Dave Marsh's attention at #452 on his list of the 1,001 greatest singles ever made. Just a warning if you're not familiar with it: "Daddy Rollin'" ain't your Mother's Dion! (We use this side to assign the 45 to a genre, although clearly "Abraham" isn't "Hard Rock/Metal" :-) Released only as the B side (not available on the album) to a familiar and comforting anthem, in "Daddy Rollin," as Marsh says:Haunted electric guitars clang and clash against one another, drums pound in from another room, uniting in a wad of noise symbolizing nothing but spelling out pain and fear... It was the scariest music Dion ever made...

Is this classic early Bubblegum? Or late Buddy Holly? Whatever, Roe's Holly impression is spot-on, and ultimately the song and recording succeed on their own, as a truly brilliant reworking of "Peggy Sue." I tend to think of it as Bubblegum because you really have to get in touch with your long lost, pubescent self to appreciate the simple, romantic sentiments Roe sings of. If you can't summon yourself as a 14-year-old, you simply won't understand part of the enduring appeal of Bubblegum Rock. (Another of its enduring appeals is its danceability: All Bubblegum Rock is made for dancing!) Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage ABC-Paramount Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels wth a small numbered sticker on one side. The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the audio is outstanding and close to Mint.
