As I add 45s to our inventory, I pick select 45s to highlight with mp3 "snippets" so you can hear the music yourself. I only record "snippets" of tunes I particularly like, ones I think have been under-played and under-appreciated, or ones that are so rare and wonderful I'll never hear them otherwise. For myself, I keep an iTunes playlist of these "snippets," and that playlist is one I listen to most often. These pages chronicle the mp3 "snippets" I've added to our online "jukebox" in reverse chronological order. You can browse the pages to see what was added and when. Click on the blue "Play" button to play the snippet, or click on a song's title to load the page. Many of these 45 records are still for sale, though just as many have been sold. I hope you enjoy perusing these pages as much as I have enjoyed putting them together!

Soul Survivors
1974, TSOP 4756
Genre: Northern Soul, Philly Style
Propulsive rhythm section and vocals make for an imminently danceable good-time.

John Kay
1972, Dunhill/ABC 4309
Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Kay was the leader of Steppenwolf. This is a terrific and surprising cover of the Hank Snow classic. It's wholly original, bearing no resemblance to either the original nor to Ray Charles' iconic version.

Ann Sexton
1973, Seventy-Seven 133
Genre: Funky Soul
"You're Gonna Miss Me" was Sexton's biggest chart hit in the U.S.... must have been very disappointing to her fans, cause this lady's got gobs of talent that more people should have been exposed to. Two super Funky Soul rarities. I decided the groove on the B side, "You're Losing Me," was just too good to leave out of our mp3 "jukebox"... so have a listen!
