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!

The Mystics
1959, Laurie 3038
Genre: Vocal Groups (Doo-Wop)
Here's a nice copy of one of the Mystics' very best singles, with two equally strong sides. I'm putting a snippet of the B side in the jukebox since I suspect it's less well known.

Chris And Craig
1966, Capitol 5694
Genre: Power Pop
This rare single hosts two great Beatlesque tracks. As far as I can determine, this was the duo's only U.S. vinyl appearance.
Rummage through hundreds of original-issue 45's for $6.00 or less!
Now playing:
Victim of a Foolish Heart by Bettye Swann
I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking by The Supremes
These virtual "boxes" are for you folks who only like new, unplayed or pristine Mint 45s.
