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!
Like White's masterpiece, "Polk Salad Annie," the sound of this track borders on three genres: Rockabilly, Southern Rock, and, given the beat and backing vocals, Northern Soul. Not to be missed!
This is one of two great, hard-to-find singles released from the Rockpile album "Seconds of Pleasure." Rockpile was a band formed by Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds.
I first heard the excellent B side of "The Love You Save" as done by Rockpile (Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe), but there's nothing to beat the original. How does stuff like this get buried on the B side of 45's? Who knows, but that's one reason why 45 collecting is so rewarding!
Rummage through hundreds of original-issue 45's for $6.00 or less!
Now playing:
Do It Again by Steely Dan

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