Beat It/ Get On The Floor

On both the Dave Marsh (#529) and Rolling Stone (#344) lists of the greatest songs/singles, this is one essential 45 you simply must own, if only for the amazing Eddie Van Halen guitar work. And don't forget that the 45 sounds much better than the LP, because of the simple physics of the unique grooves and dimensions of each. (See "Why 45s Sound Better," a section of my online "book" ("The Joy of 45 Collecting") for the gory details.) Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. The labels are Near Mint, reflecting a little storage wear. This styrene pressing has pristine Mint audio.
