Favorite 45s

[triggahiccups]

I have been buying 45s like crazy lately and would love to know what everyone's favorites are. Personally, I can't stop listening to the Ketamines 'Line by Line' 7". Really great stuff.

Honorable mentions would be GG King - 'Adult Rock' and Thee Ludds - 'Where to Begin'

Post up your favorites new and old.

Right off the top o' my head, 2 come to mind  no, 3:

The Dogs first 45- 19/Charlie Was a Good Boy/No Way

The Fun Things single- savage/(I Ain't Got)Time Enough For Love/When The Birdmen Fly/'Lipstick'

And the debut of the New Christs- Waiting World/Face A New God

All moody, cranked-up and pissed-off classics.

The Cramps    File Under Sacred Music     Early Singles 1978-1981

Best single i've bought in ages times 10 cause there's 10 killer singles in the box. Really nice pressings (at least mine is, and i bought it when it came out late last year) where you can actually hear Lux breathing at times. It's on Munster Records and i've seen copies at a coupla local record stores recently, so there's still copies floating around waiting to be nabbed by the likes of you!

NICE. That image will always remind me of former funnyman , Dan Akyroyd as Tom Snyder and Mick Jagger as himself on SNL.

And worth every cent for the stupid grin it puts on my face every time i play I Can't Hardly Stand It  or   The Way I Walk    or Drug Train   or...the list goes on. Way better sound then the original LP's i've owned since they came out.

I was able to get it for $80 Canadian  when it came out, so theoretically it should be way cheaper in Chicago....

The Greenhornes Loving in the Sun / Your body, not your soul.

Amazing. The version of Loving in the Sun (A side) is the garage rock stomper (as opposed to the laid back acoustic version you hear most often). But the B side is the real corker. Their cover of Cubby + Blizzards "your body, not your soul" is simply my favorite cover song ever. And the sleeve is a nice recreation of the original from 1965.
