   Very much a mail-order company at the start.

Aaron - Is this the catalog you had back then?

I agree about the mail-order stuff being vital to my mobile DJ work (and the radio show, too, which I started in 1992).

Back then, I bought pretty much the entire catalog of Silver Eagle Records, or at least the interesting pop stuff.  I didn't know about the Razor & Tie sets until well after the fact.

I also bought a few Priority Records collections, which turned up everywhere used in record stores where I was.  Rhino sets rarely turned up used, so it would take me a few years to pick up the Have A Nice Day sets and all the 10-track Billboard sets.  I signed up as a subscriber for Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties series in 1994, which was pure gold for me.

	There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

	Ron, I had a similar catalog, but it must've been a later edition, because I'm positive it had their releases for several of their '80s collections, which are not found in the one on your site. I also ended up buying Super 70s and Livin' In The '90s shortly after they came out, and I wonder if, once again, they sent me an updated catalog with these new releases. I don't ever recall seeing a TV ad for Super 70s, and to the best of my recollection, I ordered it based on a catalog advertisement.
