Creep/ Anyone Can Play Guitar by Radiohead
Label: colored vinyl Capitol 17591
Year: 1993
Condition: M-
$120.00

Creep/ Anyone Can Play Guitar
Here's a beautiful copy of Radiohead's first chart single, pressed on clear green vinyl. This was a "Jukebox-Only" release (a designation that began in the 1990s as record companies phased out the 7-inch, 45 rpm format). Great B side as well! Note: This beautiful 45 record looks new (Labels, Vinyl), but the audio has a touch of underlying surface noise on the A side.

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 by Bob Dylan
Label: colored vinyl Columbia 43592
Year: 1966
Factory sleeve included
Condition: M-
$200.00

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
Here's a very nearly Mint promo copy (same song on both sides) pressed on clear red vinyl. Interesting factoid: Dylan had four top 10 singles, two of which peaked at #2, and two of which peaked at #7. Significance? None that I know of, just a peculiar circumstance. :-) By the way, the two #2 hits were this one and his biggest and best, "Like A Rolling Stone." The two #7 hits were "Positively 4th Street" and "Lay Lady Lay." This promo has an edited version of the track from Blonde On Blonde. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It looks almost new (Labels, Vinyl) and has powerful, pristine Mint sound.

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy.

Calling all rare northern soul lovers! This one will be going up for sale shortly at www.classic45s.com. Save your holiday $$!

Most of you will know that John Manship sold a copy of this at auction in February of this year. Prior to that the only sale I've been able to find is from 2018 for a VGish copy. In deference to Manship's knowledge, we quote the write up from his auction here for your reference:

"RAREST OF THE RARE! Never released, never mailed shotted to USA radio stations. If this record wasn't so insanely unavailable over the last 50 years , it would have been a Wigan Casino MONSTER !!! A 1000 times rarer than the M.V.P.'s, a 45 of infinite rarity This previously unplayed copy, that except for an airing on Dean Anderson's "Sound Of Soul" radio show, an archive copy that surfaced straight from the EMI library clear-out, along with several other Cobblestone 45s that Buddah mailed to Europe only, in a publicity exercise, to see if record companies and publishers may be enticed to release any of them or utilize in the form of their own copyright versions. Triumphant horns explode the intro into orbit, ringing vibes decorate its path to a lush vocal, elevated by an avalanche strings. Strap yourself in for a journey into real-deal Northern Soul from the desk of the "Wizard" Stan Vincent, one of the main men supplying at Buddah records with standout songwriting ! Stan "The Wizard" who crafted the timeless soul classic Five Stairsteps - "Oooh Child" and Ronnie Dyson's "When You Get Right Down to It" also many "Vincent" creations become Northern Soul plays. Paul Wagnar's "The World I Knew " being quite easily the rarest of all his work, as the USA release never happened and promotion seemingly channeled into Europe only. An all powerful Northern Soul storm, a huge production, an imposing juggernaut hardly any NS DJ or collector has ever owned."

Below is a link to the audio file for the copy we have for sale. https://www.classic45s.com/jukebox/The_World_I_Knew.mp3

Condition of the audio is very close to Mint, but you can listen to discern for yourself. The labels appear Mint to us, but the vinyl would separately grade EX+ - M- ... scuffing is apparent, but does not impact the stunning audio.

10/20/2023

Happy Friday! Enjoying some soul at www.classic45s.com today! Stop by or PM if you need one of these, but come to the iste if you want to see the 12, 500 in stock on line!

Factory sleeve included
Condition: M-$100.00📷Don't Send Nobody ElseStereo/Mono promo copy.
Terrific mid-1970s dance number in a swinging, Philly Soul style. This was the group's only chart record. It's an edited version of a 5:00 album track. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels with a date penciled on the Stereo side. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint.

Talk about dynamic! This Funky Soul dance workout will definitely get you thinking about that part of the group's name. Makes me say "Whoo-ee!" Note: This beautiful, Near Mint copy has pristine Mint sound.

I'm Gonna Miss You/ Hope We Have by The Artistics

Factory sleeve included
Condition: M-$35.00📷I'm Gonna Miss You/ Hope We Have
Here's a beautiful, rarely-seen copy of the original 1966 pressing of this Northern Soul classic. Actually, a lot of fans prefer the more uptempo B side... which definitely doubles the fun of this "single"! Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" to hear what I mean. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Brunswick Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl grade very close to Mint, and the audio sounds absolutely pristine!
