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!

This amazing track is from the group's 2019 album... well worth adding to your Coldplay collection! It's grown on me so much I had to have an mp3 "snippet" for our jukebox... have a listen.

The Schoolboys
1957, Okeh 7076
Genre: Vocal Groups (Doo-Wop)
Not for nothing is this single at #117 in Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n'Soul! Dave Marsh's listing is for the B side, "Please Say You Want Me," which has one of the purest, most sublime Doo Wop vocals you'll ever hear. (The A side is "Shirley.") This beautiful pressing has such gorgeous sound I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear... Enjoy!

McDonald's Farm
1969, Pulsar 2422
Genre: Garage/Psych
This 45 shows two completely different sides to this band, which may have had one other single, but no albums. "Between The Lines" is remarkably great and grungy Garage/Psych with some awesome guitar work. I liked "Between" well enough to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear... Enjoy!

The Age of Reason
1967, Ascot 2230
Genre: Garage/Psych
Here's a beautiful promo copy of this great and rare 1967 Garage/Psych single, with two fine sides. I liked the A side so much, and this copy has such amazing audio, that I made an mp3 "snippet" for you to enjoy. Great find!
