Hi there members of the Top 40 Music On CD domain this
post is announcing my retirement from hosting the Top 40
Music On CD publication after 40 years of service. Never
fear the domain will continue on under administration by
Aaron Kannowski and this will occur no later than the end
of this calendar year. I have full confidence that Aaron
will be capable on continuing this valuable service.
Since I will no longer need to keep the physical compact
discs of which there are roughly 30,000 I would like to
accept offers to purchase the entire library of not only
the compact discs but also the 45 rpm singles referenced
in my publication and I can forward you my digital
inventory upon request of these items if you are
interested.

As someone who joined your forum in 2007, I can't thank you
enough, Pat, for all of the tireless work you've done not
only with the online forum but your many publications as
well. Enjoy your retirement, you certainly deserve it!

Congrats Pat, enjoy retirement but a few questions

1) Will the paid search feature/yearly membership for your top 40 discontinue or is Aaron taking that over too?
2) If Aaron is taking over I would love to be a moderator though not much happens on this board that needs moderation but either way...
3) If you are discontinuing the paid service might you consider publishing a book, the information is very valuable to many including myself.

I wish you luck with selling your collection. Sadly as most recently as the 2020's almost everything released is pretty much digital now, unless your name is Taylor Swift, Adele or Drake.

Thanks again for making this forum accessible. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for keeping it up all these years.
Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Yes the paid database service will continue on with Aaron
in control. This database service was initial in a book
format but would now run about 1,000 pages which would make
it priced out of everyones financial means and would
require Part 1 and Part 2 due to binding considerations.

Pat, this database and community has been so wonderful! I
have learned so much from everyone who posts. And being
able to look up single versions has been invaluable. I
can't thank you enough for maintaining this space!
