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!

Yello
1987, Mercury 884930
Genre: Techno/Synth Pop
Here's a beautiful copy of an absolutely essential classic techno track from this Swiss group. It comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve, which I believe is the first of two sleeves used and has no tie-in to the "Ferris Bueller" movie, which is on the more commonly found yellow sleeve.
