What a sound!!!!!!

Great song. The Jaggerz were actually a semi-local group (from Pittsburgh) that managed to be one hit wonders in the 60s with "The Rapper", surprisingly different from the rest of their stuff. One thing people don't know is that a "rapper" had a different meaning in the late 60s. When this song came out, to "rap" meant to talk but implied hollow boastful smooth talking (AKA bullshitting). Kind of funny since rap as we know it would start to take off a decade after this song was released.

@tjfreak The big hole singles were made for juke boxes.
we played this on our imperial record player, I love seeing these labels, it was part of it for me as a kid.. 2 things... did anyone else ever take a pile of 45's to a field and fling them a mile away ? and why didn't all 45's have the small spindle hole thus eliminating adapters ?

Yes indeed I've Frisbee'd a few 45's in my lifetime!
The hole size difference is because of competing formats.
Columbia licensed the 12 inch LP with the small hole at 33-1/3 RPM, where as RCA licensed the 7 inch single with the large hole at 45 RPM. Thank God they did standardize on the microgroove technology so that you didn't need two different kinds of turntables (although RCA did make 45 RPM only record players)
