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!

Transcendent Techno/Synth Pop track... have a listen to the mp3 "snippet," though it hardly does the real sound justice. :-)

The Gentrys

The Clique
1969, White Whale 323
Genre: Power Pop
The A side ("Sugar On Sunday") was the Sunshine Pop hit, but it was the muscular, Power Pop B site that made the lasting impression, particularly after R.E.M. did an honorary cover in the mid-1980's.
Rummage through hundreds of original-issue 45's for $6.00 or less!
