The Joy of 45 Collecting: Lost 45 Tunes Not Available from iTunes, Spotify, or Similar Services
Jukebox "Snippet" 45s: Chronological List of Site Additions
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!
Here's a beautiful promo copy of this very rare and highly sought-after 1956 Doo Wop record, with an A side so wonderful I had to make an mp3 "snippet" of it for you to hear.
Credited to "AWB," this great single is sought after not only for the hit side, which is wonderful, but also for the frenetic Funk workout on the flip, which could have been a hit on its own. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of it!
Hidden behind the Twist anthem on the A side is a nugget so good it almost hurts... every time I listen to it I wonder if this was one of John Fogerty's favorites from the early 1960's. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of it!
Here's a beautiful copy of this rare 1968 Banks single, which is highly sought after by Northern Soul fans. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of it here in our online "jukebox" (click the blue "play" button).
