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 terrific 1976 hit (in the Black/RnB market) is unstoppable... check out the mp3 "snippet" of it.

Eddie Cochran
1958, Liberty 55166
Genre: Rockabilly/Retro
This is a beautiful promo copy of Eddie Cochran's second hit, a followup to "Summertime Blues." This 45 has such awesome audio I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear... Enjoy!

The Pussycats
1965, Columbia 43272
Genre: Garage/Psych
Here's a beautiful copy of this outstanding all-female-group Garage Rock single, with two great sides. The B side ("I Want Your Love") was a breakout regional hit in the Cleveland area in 1965. I got hooked on what was supposed to be the A side, "The Rider"... have a listen! By the way, you can't find this on any album, and I couldn't find the tracks in iTunes or Apple Music, either.
Rummage through hundreds of original-issue 45's for $6.00 or less!
Now playing:
Bad To The Bone by George Thorogood & The Destroyers
Whatever You Got, I Want by The Jackson 5
These virtual "boxes" are for you folks who only like new, unplayed or pristine Mint 45s.
