I've been researching the "Promo Only" series - Mainstream Airplay CDs. I was looking at the year 1995 and could only find the existence of Oct, Nov, & Dec 1995 CDs. Is Oct '95 when their Mainstream Airplay discs were first created? If not, how far back is the earliest one?

The earliest I've seen was for September, 1993.

I purchased them in the early days.

The earliest pop-length cut disc (simply titled 'Radio
Series') was August '93.

November '97 was when it was now titled 'Mainstream
Radio".

Of course Promo Only started as a club-length series -
first issue was June '92.

If anyone out there has anything earlier - please
correct me!
