Hip-o Select

Pat, I already own just about every Top 40 hit on the Motown family of labels from the era in question on a commercial 45, as well as also owning all 10 volumes of the Motown Singles Box so far, and I would also be more than willing to help you. This same statement is also true for the five 2-CD chronological, comprehensive James Brown sets released so far on Hip-O Select. But since you have at least two other volunteers already, just let me know where you'd like me to start, so we can avoid duplication of effort.

That sounds logical to me!

Thanks, Jim. I've already submitted 1968 and 1969 to Pat and will probably begin work on 1967 tomorrow.

Now that I hit upon the idea of using Whitburn's "Pop Annual" to type out all the Motown and associated labels' top 40 hits for each year, instead of looking up every single song in the database to see if it's listed, it actually only takes about an hour per set.
