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!

Def Leppard
1988, Mercury 870298
Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
The label indicates that the A side is edited from the album cut, but the difference is only 3 seconds; I suspect what is meant is that the 45 has a remixed version of the LP cut.

Booker T and the MG's
1968, Stax 0001
Genre: Soul Instrumentals
Simply irresistible Soul instrumental.
10/21/12
Searchers
1964, Kapp 593
Genre: Power Pop
If you wanna hear some truly great power pop, flip this one over and check out the B side (click on the "play" button to hear the audio from our mp3 "jukebox"). A definite A+ in my book! (The A side is "Don't Throw Your Love Away.")

Digable Planets
1992, Pendulum 64674
Genre: Rap
One of the defining Rap songs of the early 1990s.
