Price: $8.50

]]> <![CDATA[Hollies: Stop Stop Stop/ It's You (Imperial 66214)]]> Condition: EX
Price: $6.50

Yes, this top 10 hit was classic Hollies. But personally, I prefer the slightly more raunchy?though just as tuneful?B side.]]> <![CDATA[Beatles: Eight Days A Week/ I Don't Want To Spoil The Party (Capitol 5371)]]> Condition: EX
Price: $75.00

Note: This copy has a practically mint picture sleeve. The audio is mint as well, but the record's label has several small writings. This is the orange/yellow swirl Capitol label without 'Subsidiary of Capitol' on the perimeter.
]]> <![CDATA[Chambers Bros.: Time Has Come Today/ People Get Ready (Columbia 44414)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $17.00

Beautiful copy of one of the touchstones of psychedelic rock/soul... a song you never forget. Great version of the Curtis Mayfield-penned classic on the flip.
]]> <![CDATA[Donovan: Atlantis/ To Susan on the West Coast Waiting (Epic 10434)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $8.00

Truth be told, most of the folks who bought this anti-war single were more interested in hearing Donovan muse about Fair Atlantis than about "Susan on the West Coast waiting/ for Randy in Vietnam fighting." (Really a horrible couplet, don't you think?) Note: The audio on this copy is basically mint, though you have to endure 8 "pops" as Donovan tells his tale?the result of a small abrasion on the vinyl.]]> <![CDATA[Inxs: Need You Tonight/ I'm Coming (Home) (Atlantic 89188)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $10.00

This terrific single was the group's first (and only) #1 hit in the U.S. Note: This copy is from a large purchase we've made from a defunct record store, which had a practice of putting labels on the sleeves that identify the title, artist, and year of release. In this case, the label is on the back side of the sleeve.
]]> <![CDATA[Ray Charles: Let's Go Get Stoned/ The Train (ABC-Pmt. 10808)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $18.00

This is a beautiful copy of one of Ray Charles' very best ABC-Paramount singles. The flip is a dance number that explains how to do "The Train."

Price: $15.00

Price: $14.00

Terrific uptempo soul/vocal group harmony record with both sides charting in 1962. The falsetto lead is a classic!
]]> <![CDATA[Glenn Yarbrough: Baby The Rain Must Fall/ I've Been To Town (RCA 8498)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $12.00

This was the title song from the movie starring Steve McQueen and Lee Remick... note that it's arranged by future Bread-leader David Gates.]]> <![CDATA[Turtles: She'd Rather Be With Me/ The Walking Song (White Whale 249)]]> Condition: EX

Price: $20.00

This was Doris Day's last Top 10 U.S. hit, and one of only two that came with a picture sleeve. Note: This copy is from a large purchase we've made from a defunct record store, which had a practice of putting labels on the sleeves that identify the title, artist, and year of release. In this case, the label is on the back of the sleeve.

Price: $8.00

]]> <![CDATA[Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells (Virgin 55100)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $12.00

The A side is a 3:18 edit from Oldfield's classic Tubular Bells album. The edited version was used as the theme from the hit movie The Exorcist. The flip is a 4:39 edit of the album's A-side conclusion, which culminates with the dramatic clanging of the musician's tubular bells.
]]> <![CDATA[Maria Muldaur: I'm A Woman/ Cool River (Reprise 1319)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $8.00

]]> <![CDATA[T-Connection: Let Yourself Go/ Groove To Get Down (Dash 5044)]]> Condition: M
Price: $8.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original factory sleeve. This is a very exciting entry in the 'How could they have missed this one!?' contest from the late 1970's. Didn't chart at all, yet is a blast! Great disco-funk soul thing.
]]> <![CDATA[T-Connection: On Fire/ Go Back Home (Dash 5041)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $8.50

Two truly great sides from this New York-based funk-disco group.]]> <![CDATA[Rolling Stones: Going To A Go Go/ Beast of Burden (Rolling Stones 21301)]]> Condition: EX
Price: $8.00

These are both live recordings. The A side is from the group's live album, Still Life, and the flip is a previously unreleased, non-LP cut. Note: The A side audio is marred by an abrasion halfway through the track, which causes a "pop" as the record revolves. The B side is M-.]]> <![CDATA[Tams: Too Much Foolin' Around/ How Long Love (123 1726 dj)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $20.00

These are both great dancers in the inimitable Tams style? The A-side, Ray Whitley-penned number is an essential Northern Soul track.
]]> <![CDATA[Electric Prunes: I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)/ Luvin' (Reprise 0532)]]> Condition: EX
Price: $15.00

One of the essential touchstones of what it meant to be "psychedelic rock" in the mid-1960s. Note: This copy has beautiful audio. The label and vinyl are excellent, but not as good as the audio.
]]> <![CDATA[Legendary Stardust Cowboy: Standing In A Trashcan (Thinking Of You)/ My Underwear Froze To The Clothesline (Spider 002)]]> Condition: M
Price: $12.00

From later in his "career," this artist, whose name provided David Bowie with the 'Stardust' in Ziggy's name, has got to be heard to be believed! These tracks are from his 1986 album, Retro Rocket Back To Earth. Though not as outrageous as his 1969 signature "Paralyzed," it's clear that he's still in a genre all his own. :-)
]]> <![CDATA[Scritti Politti: Boom! There She Was/ A World Come Back To Life (WB 27976)]]> Condition: M
Price: $8.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. The A side, a 4:15 edited version of the album track, features the distinctive electronic vocal of Roger (Roger Troutman).
]]> <![CDATA[Blackbyrds: Walking In Rhythm/ The Baby (Fantasy 736)]]> Condition: M-
Price: $8.00

]]> <![CDATA[Clarence Carter: Strokin'/ Love Me With Feeling (Ichiban 86-108)]]> Condition: M
Price: $10.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. Clarence Carter has always been one of the dirtiest "dirty old men" in soul music, but I never thought he'd have the nerve to go this far! It's practically pornographic, and does contain a warning on the label:
This record features material of an explicit nature.
]]> <![CDATA[Shangri-Las: Leader of the Pack/ What Is Love (Red Bird 10014)]]> Condition: EX
Price: $12.50

Often imitated? never surpassed! This great Girl Group classic also features a dynamite, uptempo number on the flip. Note: This styrene copy is in great shape, with very little audio degradation? despite the fact that neither the label nor vinyl are near mint.
]]> <![CDATA[Jean Knight: Anyone Can Love Him/ Don't Break My Heart (Staff 1005 dj)]]> Condition: M
Price: $20.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. I'm not sure exactly how these tracks got released, but I assume they were recorded in Knight's pre-"Mr. Big Stuff" career. Both are fine examples of producer Huey P. Meaux's cajun-soul sensibilities, and the A side is both a great song and an irresistible dance number.
]]> <![CDATA[Ditalians: Philly Dog New Breed/ Egypt Land (Saxony 1011)]]> Condition: M
Price: $45.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. It's hard to say which side of this rare garage/soul single I like better? they're both tough-as-nails, funky dance tracks. If I had to choose, I guess I'd go with "Egypt Land," whose chorus has an irresistible hook. :-)
]]> <![CDATA[Three Degrees: You're The One/ Stardust (Roulette 7097)]]> Condition: M
Price: $15.00

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve.
]]> <![CDATA[Avi Buffalo: What's In It For?/ Jessica (Sub Pop 864)]]> Condition: M
Price: $7.50

This new release from Sub Pop records is pressed on gorgeous, clear red vinyl with dark-black marbeling. It has a large spindle hole and a custom picture sleeve.
]]> <![CDATA[Spoon: Written In Reverse/ Mean Red Spider (Merge 376)]]> Condition: M
Price: $7.50

Two excellent, quirky rockers from this North Carolina band. Comes with a slick picture sleeve and pressed on hot pink, marbelized vinyl with a small spindle hole.
