Man, you've got a lot of 45s, Joe. You could open up a record store, if you wanted. So many classics too. They bring back so many good memories. I wish I could back to when some of them were popular.
Hi Joe, I agree with you about the 80's being the last decade of quality music,although, I do like a lot of "Grunge Rock". I still have the first 45's I bought with my hard earned "Baby Sitting" money (Homeward Bound,I fought the Law, Fortunate Son,This Diamond Ring.) We do need more "Happy Music". Thanks Joe for some great memories !
+Cindy Urban - I have been discovering that there were still some decent songs scattered around during the 1990's, so I will grudgingly include them when I now say "The 20th Century was the best time for quality music". But by the time we got to the year 2000... forget it! :)
Watched this for the second time, even better than the first, you have a great 45s collection there Joe, I have quite a few of them myself. I am a massive fan of 45s, must have 2,000 plus!!
Im just in the middle of re organizing my 45 collection in alphabetical order , seems ive got about 80 % of your collection . Its Kool to see them in the original Paper Company Sleeves . I used to throw them away and use the green cardboard sleeves , Now im trying to get back the Original Sleeves . You have a great collection . I find your Videos interesting. Thanks.
Excellent Collection of 45's! Mine is of a narrow Genre, I have a collection from 1955 thru 1973... Still you have an Excellent collection because like you, there are good songs in later years! My average cost of my 45's are 10 cents and 25 cents it seems that locally in Portland Oregon, no one seems to care about the Genre that I like. All my records are in very good to practically new condition.
Great video Joe, and I agree with you. The best music ever in my opinion was in the 50's, 60's, 70's 80's. There are some songs I like now that I hear but not very many!!!! Looking forward to watching the rest of your 45 videos.
Great 45 collection! I'm getting back into picking up quite a few myself. Mainly 60's British Invasion, garage and psych stuff for now. Got a lot of those 80's singles as promos when I worked in the record biz, but sold them off several years ago. 50's-60's 45's are not stocked in my local used record stores as much as they once were unfortunately.
i will say this , we search out our sound, I just started last month, and have about 20, 45's and may35 lp's .I find my self thinking as i play different songs and the memories, are the best.
I'm with you all the way Joe, on all those late sixties, early and mid 70's supposedly "corny" stuff. So many of those songs are dear to my heart, especially some of those one hit wonders, like "Sky High" by Jigsaw. It's nice that you have older stuff like Teresa Brewer and Johnny Mathis too. - I guess I'm even more old school than you are Joe, for me after 1975, I gradually become less and less interested, but there definitely were nice songs here and there after the "golden age".
Right On, Thomas!! Yeah, I learned stuff like Teresa Brewer from records that my mom and/or grandparents had when I was a kid. Oh God, early '70s stuff on the AM radio --- loved it!! -- Thanks a lot for watching and commenting so much, man.
Hello Joe, Some of the picture sleeve singles were fun to look at. Some of them were giving me flashbacks of working at Strawberries records in the late eighties and early nineties. You had quite a few eighties domestic singles. I must say that stopping liking music in the 80's may be detrimental to finding new bands/artists that you may like. There are so many great bands that are coming out to this day. Take Vampire Weekend for example. They are a perfect young band for you to check out. They just have what it takes to write a catchy song the way that bands did years ago. I never try to promote music in the VC Joe but I really think you should give these young guys a listen. Here is a cut off the new album 'Vampires Of The City'. Should be nominated for Best Album Of The Year in my opinion. Its still rock and roll to me Joe~ Unbelievers - Vampire Weekend Rob/Boston
I agree with you Joe, good old sing along records, just arn't recorded these days, it's such a shame. I think I come from the same school of music as you!!
very nice collection.I think the value will always go up on 45s.young folks say why 1 song.that's the way radio was.playing the single from the album to come out.
Cool 45s, but you should alpabetize them, easier to show. I too have all my original 45s, many of yours are missing picture sleeves. We were lucky then as teEns to have the excitement of going to record stores-TOWER-CRAZY EDDIE-RECORD WORLD-SAM GOODY-WIZ and purchasing the latest LP and 45s, 12 in.
+Robert Nunez -- It's been my intention to eventually alphabetize all of it and better organize everything. Still hasn't happened ---- yet! And yes, you're so right about the shopping in all the stores you've mentioned (and others). Thanks for watching and commenting.
good selection, music for everybody,You have an original gee record of Frankie Lymon and Chess of Chuck Berry,are you a Jersey guy how did you get to like fifties songs?
Hi Mr.Mayo. I love the fact that you like and collect such a wide variety of great music. From Bon Jovi to Johnny Mathis! Very cool.... But where is your Chicago and The Beach Boys records?
AlwaysInAtari That's a question I don't know the answer to. Even more interesting is that the same 45 may have had BOTH a plain white sleeve AND a picture sleeve.
+AlwaysInAtari I think its a MONEY thing . Only the BIG MONEY Labels put the Extra Money into Their Biggest Stars , sort of an investment thing . It takes Money to Make Money. Thats my Guess . But the Pic Covers Are Nicer .
I have five thousand 45s, a collection that dates from 1966 to today. As I'm sure is Mayo's experience too, mine runs the gamut, condition-wise. Over the years, others will give or sell you their collections and you smartly(!) take them, but then all of your stuff is not going to look like you bought them retail yourself and have always been in your care. My valuable collection's been sitting pretty useless the last decade. I've been losing my hearing over the last 20 years. Fate is a miserable bitch sometimes.
I find myself singing along to the records you are showing, must be my age.Great collection Joe.

" My Boy Lollipop " was done by Millie Small, NOT Willie Small. ( 3:35 )
Great 45 collection!

Richard White Thanks, Richard... it will be quite an undertaking if you watch all the 45's vids.
haha, Yes, Joe, you have a great collection. But I plan on watching them all, Thank God for You Tube.

Rob/Boston
I was singing along to most of these 45s! They would make a great jukebox!
franco - yes, my tastes are very commercial, most of the time.
I agree with you Joe, good old sing along records, just arn't recorded these days, it's such a shame. I think I come from the same school of music as you!!
Great video as usual Joe, you have good few classics there that dont show up in the UK very often! - Blake
Thanks as always, for watching, Blake.
I have the same 45 collection as you . We do need more

jim zarra - My mom grew up in the 50s and I heard her records when I was a kid.
8:12, I have that on the Le-Cam label as by, Jill& Ray.
Hi Mr.Mayo. I love the fact that you like and collect such a wide variety of great music. From Bon Jovi to Johnny Mathis! Very cool.... But where is your Chicago and The Beach Boys records?
I have at least one Chicago 45, and I have (or used to have) their GREATEST HITS album. I have a bunch of Beach Boys 45s and albums as well.
@@MeanMrMayo Oh cool. I collect Elvis, Chicago, and Beach Boys vinyl.
Great Great 45s. Only one I didn't see was BAD BAD LEROY BROWN. really awesome video
. I enjoyed it.
I have the blue copy of down by the lazy river said u didn't have it I luv my 45s too u got some good ones but didn't hear no Bobby sherman
2:18 Got that with a picture sleeve!
I have Higher Love with the picture sleeve.
3:43 got the promo.
I have 69 45s from this video
Would some knowledgable fellow enlighten me as to why some 45s had picture covers and some didn't.
AlwaysInAtari That's a question I don't know the answer to. Even more interesting is that the same 45 may have had BOTH a plain white sleeve AND a picture sleeve.

More physically attractive artists were sold on the basis of appearance almost as much as sound. Or they were selling a movie or tv show as well.
