The Joy of 45 Collecting: Lost 45 Tunes Not Available from iTunes, Spotify, or Similar Services
Jukebox "Snippet" 45s: Chronological List of Site Additions
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!
This is the nicest original pressing of this Doo Wop classic I've ever offered in the store since opening in 2001. Its audio is so good I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. This copy is on the multicolor End label.
This terrific Philly Soul/Funk dancer is in great demand today, though it wasn't a big hit at the time. It's specially edited from a 5:07 album track. Check out the mp3 "snippet"!
Great, rousing Gospel-style Soul... the flip is an instrumental version. As far as I can determine, there was no album associated with this single. If you like Deep Soul, this is a 2-star recommendation for you (our highest). Check out the mp3 "snippet"!
Rummage through hundreds of original-issue 45's for $6.00 or less!

These virtual "boxes" are for you folks who only like new, unplayed or pristine Mint 45s.
