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 the very first James Bond theme song, from the movie "Dr. No." It's so iconic I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear and remember. Oddly enough, this 45 made no dent in the U.S. Pop charts at the time (James Bond wasn't a household name yet).

This was one of the group's bigger hits, and deservedly so. I was so taken with its propulsive rhythm section I had to make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear... Enjoy!
