Hopefully you guys have Randy Price helping out with that book....

I'm sure they're starting from scratch from the original issues, so I doubt they'd need any help.

Yes, we're giving this project the full "Record Research" treatment of doing the week-by-week research from scratch. It's been VERY time consuming, but it's the only way to do it right.

So far, we've found hundreds of mistakes in the previously published books...including this one I just found this morning: "If U Were Mine" by U-Krew actually peaked at #24 with 17 weeks charted, not #56 with 8 weeks charted as previously published.

Paul, I don't think I've ever looked more forward to an upcoming RR release
than I have this one! Thanks for giving this effort the "full RR treatment", as
you put it, even though it's *tons* more work for you.

I just thought of one thing, however. I've long ago made special notations in
my Pop Annual books, for all of the BB Top 40 hits that are *not* in Pat's db,
and for the non-BB Top 40-peaking hits that *are* in the db. I'm expecting
that this new RR book will result in both some additions and deletions to
Pat's db, since Pat has always utilized Cashbox as his "go to" publication, and
with as many corrections as you have been identifying along the way...
