JMD1961 - Can you send me a track listing of each, or take a picture of the back cover with the tracks? I'll be happy to integrate that with my stuff. (I assume that you've checked to ensure that they're not the RE-1 rereleases.)
whyaduck - The Billboard Top R&R Hits series had some releases. The years 1960 through 1969 were released in 1988, then all were rereleased in 1993 with slightly different track listings. The tracks that weren't replaced had the same mastering, for the tracks that I've checked (I haven't checked them all.) I don't have list of the replaced tracks handy, though. You can tell the 1988 mastering from the black, five-letter Rhino logo on the spine. The 1993 rerelease has the red oval Rhino logo.
I don't know of any other rereleases in those Rhino sets.
Hope that helps!

Sorry for the delay. Been dealing with some laptop issues.
And I'm afraid I don't have good news. All three of the
ones I've got are the RE-1 editions.

Sorry - thought I could help since I have the whole Sounds of the Seventies series on CD. But I must have got mine at the same time you have as I have all the RE-1 and RE-2's you have. I wil ltry one of the local DJ's that bought these as well as I did and see if he still has his copies.
Good luck.

Did any of this get resolved either publicly or in PM's?
I would have to go to a certain set of crates to see what version of "Sounds of the 70s" I had. I'm pretty sure I bought nearly all of it directly from Time-Life and not Ebay or Discogs. You know, back
when they would only sell you them one at a time? I have to go look for myself as I've made a minor discovery after buying a set of Time-Life "Ultimate 70s" on ebay. I already knew that they had taken the
"Superhits" product and repackaged it as "AM Gold." What I didn't know was that they took the basic set of "Sounds of the 70s" 1970-1979 and rebranded a new series called "Ultimate 70's" which also has,
as far as I know, only the 1970-1979 produced so far. No "Take Two" or any of that yet.
I had a chance to grab a sealed set of "Ultimate 70s" but, passed for a set of VG discs which was about half the price. I'm happy now that I didn't buy that sealed set as they would only be duplicates
of the discs I already have in the "SOS" series. If anyone is interested in the minor track changes between the sets, I can post what I find when I dig those original "SOS" discs out.
I'm kind of curious myself if Time Life did any extra production work on this set like adding NR or taking it out etc. I'm pretty certain though that they would rather add more than remove it.
