went to college to learn radio but ended up in live music [concert promotion/production, band mgr & tour mgmt 40+ years]. I did late 70s college radio but coming from early 70s prog & 60s pop. Spun SNF disco & oldies rock-hops 3-4 years in a club and mobile. Also worked retails records 1980 managing a store for a year & returned to retail for 12 years at Cincinnati's oldest and 1st used record store Mole's for 12 years in the 2010s. Working to compile the top 1000 song artists recordings of all time b4 I die remastering an 80 min CD of each. 1000 artists is more like 1500 once I combined Tsort's global mix with musicvf's more US/UK list. I'm not worried about the nuances of 45s so much as curating and defining the life of a record; when it charted and for how long, etc after growing up listening to WSAI-AM T40 and WOXR/WEBN/WVUD-FM prog & AOR in SW Ohio in the 60s-70s.
