Excellent idea combining all of these wonderful pop 45’s with summertime. The stories and the sunglasses sell the video 👍

[@onmyturntable7036]

@vikingbrace Thanks Gary! I had been wanting to show my 45's for a while, so had fun putting this together. I'll probably do another one again. Thanks for the watch! 😎🎶

[@northernvinylguy]

Hey Ed. Glad you enjoyed your vacation. I'm digging your new look with the shades. Glad you chose that Bee Gees track. I've always enjoyed their pre-Disco era over their late 70s stuff. Cheers, Darryl.

[@onmyturntable7036]

@northernvinylguy Thanks for the watch Darryl! I had fun putting this together. 😎🎶

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Awesome selection, especially the Prince single!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks! I had fun putting this list together. I collected as many Prince 45's as I could back in the 80's - it was all about the B sides, since those tracks could not be found anywhere else for years.

[@mad4vinyl802]

I’m so glad you mentioned the Funk brothers! To Love Somebody was written for Otis Redding. I can’t imagine how soulful his version would’ve been. With that being said, that is one of my favorite Bee Gees songs. It wouldn’t be summer without Sly blaring out of the car radio! That Lady 🥇 it’s 4 o’clock in the morning dammit! EJ rocks. 17 Days is as good as Doves…. Great selections.

[@onmyturntable7036]

@mad4vinyl802 Took a cue from your Singles Series, Mark! I had fun putting this together, and will do another 45 themed video again for sure.

[@garagegeek4863]

I will jump on this and show some 45s in my next video. You have some killer 45s! I usually only buy them if they have cover art, which is limiting, but I have to consider space. I love Stars on 45!!!! That Prince 45 is so cool and you are so right about the B-sides. Drink that cherry wine! I just bought Venus for my hubby. Great video.

[@onmyturntable7036]

I am sure my collection of 45's pales in comparison to other VC folks - I only have around 1,200, give or take. Collected them from a young age all the way up through high school. I've been going back and revisiting, and had fun putting this together. Only one way to play 'Venus' - LOUD! Thanks for the watch, and enjoy the rest of the weekend. :-)

[@garagegeek4863]

@@onmyturntable7036 I have about 60! My collection does pale…

[@vinylshawn4757]

Hi Ed great 45’s ! Someone saved my life tonight is my favorite Elton song.

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks Shawn! I had to make sure I got Elton in there for a summertime release, and it is a favorite of mine as well, even when my best friend Adam warbles to it off key after a few beers! Appreciate the watch, and enjoying your channel as well. Enjoy the rest of the weekend :-)

[@AnthonyGambler812]

When Doves Cry is my favorite Prince track. Never seen the 45, awesome video Ed.

[@onmyturntable7036]

@Gmblr812 Thanks Anthony! I've been looking for an opportunity to show some of my 45's. Collected them from around age 7 all through high school.

[@RandallWeaver]

Hi Ed - you may be interested to know that Stoned Soul Picnic is How'd That Go? #15. What a great song. Thanks for the shout-out! I enjoyed the video!

[@onmyturntable7036]

@RandallWeaver I am very interested! Back into the Randall Weaver vaults I go! I try to mention Laura Nyro as much as possible. Another shout out coming your way soon (e.g Bobby Hutcherson). 😎

[@ThatVinylChannel]

Fun fact. Stars On 45 holds the record (no pun) for the #1 with the longest official title. Great stuff there. I love 45s, I have over 10k 45s in my collection! Nice to see someone else showcasing them on their channel. I don't think 45s get enough love in the VC. I show them when I can. Thanx for the video!

[@onmyturntable7036]

That definitely tracks, Bozz! Over 10k - damn! I am more in the 1.2k range, and my time frame for buying them was from around 7 years old all through my teenage years. Since jumping on the VC train I've gone back and waxed (no pun) nostalgic a bit with all those 45's I have, and I may start up again - who knows! Thanks for the watch and enjoy the rest of the weekend! Enjoying your channel as well.

[@MGKBOSTON]

Hi Ed! Good to hear you had a nice vacation! I don't collect 7" singles but do enjoy seeing them. I was in my local store in my town yesterday and she had a box of singles, and I actually got that Bananarama single. Lovely ladies! Truth be told, I probably have less than a dozen 7"s in my collection.

[@onmyturntable7036]

It was much needed, that was for sure, Mark! I had fun putting this list together, and buying 45's starting from when I was around 7 yrs old was how it all began. Plus, my older sister was fed up with me borrowing & playing her records all the time - ha! Sidebar - when I was on my way home I ducked into Instant Karma Records in Orleans. Pretty great selection, and not sure if you've been there yourself. I'll be showing what I bought after a few listens. Enjoy the rest of this freakin' hot Sunday!

@@onmyturntable7036 Going to lounge in the yard with a Yeti cooler full of pints. Like my dad used to say “This weather is only good for two things, drinking beer and lawn chairs!” 🤠

[@onmyturntable7036]

Damn Straight! I'll be doing that shortly myself.

[@MarkMorris-1962]

Great video idea, Ed! I didn't start buying 45s until last year when I became obsessed with buying Beatles' singles with picture sleeves. A fun addition to the hobby! P.S. I could have sworn I left this comment here yesterday. Now I am wondering whose video I left that comment for!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Ha! I've done that before myself! 45's were my first vinyl love: starting buying around age 7 all through high school. The VC has led me back to enjoying and appreciating them again. 🎶😎 Have a great week!

[@RekkidTalk]

Shouldn't it be "Cruel Summer" in the thumbnail? 😎

[@onmyturntable7036]

@RekkidTalk I actually thought of that as well! Your ' Five Records in Five Minutes' is also a great format that I took some liberties with here also, Chris. I enjoy those. Thanks for the watch and comment. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 😎🎶
