GEMSMFAN 18th Nov 2015		Book Pat Downey - Top 40 Music On Compact Disc 1955-1994 (1996)	Review A quite informative book for someone trying to track a song and a U.S. compact disc to which that song was included. Timings are presented mentioning "edited versions" or "special versions" OR whether the track was a "mono" or "stereo" mix. Sometimes special edits were substituted on the compact disc version of a particular album. Sometimes "best of" compilations were released and yet they weren't the "original" recordings and this book includes mentioning these, if known. This book is especially helpful in finding those odd tracks, many of which only were available on possibly only one exclusive compilation disc. Included are speciality comps from Time-Life such as the "Sounds of the Seventies" series and from the Special Products divisions of some of the major labels. To sum it up, this book in no way is a "complete listing" of the years included, as there were hundreds of CD's released and such a listing would require several volumes, but it is a great reference and time saver for someone wanting to track down their favorite tunes on CD. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
