Great forgotten Northern Soul-style disco number. Note: This copy has a small band of heat damage on part of the edge, which causes surface noise for the first dozen rotations or so. After that, the audio is near mint. The B side also has some "wow" due to a slight mis-pressing.]]> Condition: M-

This is Rafferty's second single from his smash debut album (as a solo artist) City To City, which featured the huge hit, "Baker Street." On the flip here is "Waiting For The Day," which is even better than the plug side and an example of Rafferty at his rocking-est. ]]> Condition: M-

Originally released on A&M 1671. Remarkable remake of the song originally released as the B side of Roy Orbison's single "Running Scared." This copy is on the A&M Forget Me Nots series with the orange/green stripes label.

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. This duo's followup to "One Toke Over The Line" wasn't nearly as popular, but it packs a great punch and just as much attitude. Their great version of "Seems Like A Long Time" preceded Rod Stewart's cover (on Every Picture Tells A Story) by several months.

This is a vinyl picture disk of this singer's most popular song from her most successful album so far — the 2008 album The Fame. According to iTunes, "Poker Face" is also Lady Gaga's most popular song from her whole catalog! The A side is the album version, and spins at 45 rpm. The flip is the "Space Cowboy Remix" of the song, which spins at 33 rpm. The picture disk has a small spindle hole and comes in a clear plastic case.

This group sounds a bit like 1990s grunge bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Sugar, or Foo Fighters. Really grungy, but with a melody. The single is pressed on clear blue vinyl and has a large spindle hole (Yeah!)

This single has two bands — The Cataracs and Dev. I particularly like the track by the Cataracs. The single is pressed on clear vinyl and has a small spindle hole. Oddly, it's also pressed to spin at 33 rpm. The picture sleeve has info about a free download with purchase.]]> Condition: M

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. Terrific edited cut from the LP version. And as if the A side weren't reason enough to own this classic single, the B side is one of those super-special, non-LP cut offerings Prince managed to throw around for free on his 1980's singles.

Note: This copy has a hairline crack across the vinyl. The crack produces a "pop", but the pop can be greatly minimized by ensuring that the vinyl is aligned carefully. Otherwise, the pop will be very distracting. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve. It's a first pressing, on the "spokes" Mercury label (later pressings were on the more common red label).
