It would be good if the chart hits from the book were listed online or in digital format somewhere. The incorrect release dates are indeed concerning, though I think these could often be a month out, unless you’re getting the info from an original record company release advertisement or leaflet. Once I'm finished I'll have a (corrected) list of all the records with matrix numbers, recording dates etc (at least those I can find). I do plan to put it somewhere online, although I don't know where would be an appropriate place. Any suggestions? I'm concurrently working on getting accurate monthly release dates from supplements, adverts etc., so I hope to be able to catch even the monthly discrepancies in charting dates. mister_tmg wrote: Are all the “missing” 78s added to this site, or at least the ones we know definitely exist? You could add the photos, Peter. No, there are many that aren't on the site (probably many hundreds). Of the 2325 records listed in the book, I currently have photographs of 2142, although not always both sides. Adding them all to the site would be a huge task, and not at the top of my priority list at the moment. I'd happily send the photos over for someone else to take on the task, if anyone's volunteering! So of the total of 2325 records listed in the book, I have managed to trace recordings of all but 48 of them, a great task and so near to a final result, I have a feeling that I will get to the lower twenties on my wants list but there will still be a shortfall when I go to that Record Shop in the sky.....danceband91 and mister_tmg were a fantastic help and still are but this is now getting to be really difficult......I hope that my advert in next month's magazine will open the floodgates
