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!

The Clusters
1958, Tee Gee 102
Genre: Vocal Groups (Doo-Wop)
This is a beautiful copy of the first pressing of this great 1958 Doo Wop rarity, with two fine sides. I love the uptempo A side and made an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear

The Four Seasons
1962, Vee Jay 456
Genre: Vocal Groups (Doo-Wop)
This single ushered in the start of something new in vocal group music, and it set the standard for the chord progressions and percussive attack for many hits that were to follow. Still astounding today... check out the mp3 "snippet" of this copy's particularly fine audio.
