Sad, as one wonders how many rarer records ended up junked this way. Surely people would have been giving up records they were less keen on? Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again is said to have been a bestseller, yet is now so scarce that copies change hands for high prices. The White Cliffs of Dover was also a bestseller, yet sells for a lot. I guess at some point I would want to have recordings of all the UK's sheet music chart hits, which tends to mean a choice of several recordings. Perhaps it may be desirable to find the most popular version of that song, if it can be ascertained. Bearing in mind the number of errors in the 'missing charts' book, I'm wary of using retrospective charts!
