I just saw Paul Haney mention inside the "Feliz Navidad" thread about this
upcoming new RR book. I'm normally "all over" new RR releases, but it's the first I'm hearing about this one! Now I know we all love the Top 40 hits, but in my heart I've always had a special spot for the "coulda-woulda-shoulda" 45s that this new RR release will include. I decided to give this topic its own thread here because, 1) it will be out soon (next month), and 2) it mentions that this publication will only be produced in very limited quantities, so don't delay if you're interested. I'm pre-ordering mine Wednesday. More outstanding work by Mr. Whitburn/ Mr. Haney/RR team! |

We just sent the book to the printer yesterday afternoon, so it should be in stock by mid-December.
This book is chock-full of really obscure stuff. Many songs/artists/labels that are totally new to me! |

The books just arrived at our offices yesterday (12/7) and we've already started shipping out the back-orders! If you've already ordered the book, you'll be getting it soon.

Thanks for the info on this. I just ordered Record World Top 100 and 101-150 books today (actually, a total of 8 Record Research books!)
BTW, years ago I bought the Radio & Records (R&R) "book" of their charts, so with this Record World purchase, I'll now have all 4 major chart books: Record World, R&R, Cashbox and, of course, all the Billboard books. Incidentally, the guy at Record Research told me they're doing an update to the Cashbox book that Pat previously put out. It may have Bubbling Under added, as well as other info and some corrections. BTW, in that Cashbook book, it mistakenly has ABBA's "When All Is Said and Done" peaking at #1. Pat, can you (or anyone) tell me the correct position of that record in Cashbox? Thanks. (Pat's Cashbox book is really great, for those of you who don't have it or know about it). |

It peaked at #31, Gordon, in the 3/13/82 issue. For anyone who doesn't know, every Cash Box chart from 1950 on is available on the Cash Box website: http://cashboxmagazine.com/archives/index.html Edited by Brian W. |

Wow, I am really impressed with this new book! As Paul alluded to earlier,
there are many obscure, "local" hits, which were so much more prevalent pre-1972, that have never appeared in any RR publication before. It is just SO wonderful for me to finally have these songs be given the "full Whitburn treatment", as to accurate title, flip side, label and catalog # details. I'm sure that Paul Haney must've personally put much time and effort into this new RR book. Thank you, sir, as I'm personally enjoying the "fruits of your labor" very much! |

Thanks for all of the kind words about the books.
The work on the Cash Box book is just getting started. Let me stress that this is not simply an "update" as we are doing the research on the weekly charts from scratch. We've already uncovered several errors in the prevously published books. Stay tuned! |

Paul,
I just received the Record World bubbling under book and have to tell you that I'm dissapointed. This book should of had a lot more titles that bubbled under. Apparently,the book only lists records that did not appear in any of Whitburn's Billboard books. I think that for #50.00 the book should contain ALL the records that Bubbled Under in Record World including those that went on to make the top 100. This book has only 176 pages while the top 100 book has 418 pages. Whitburn charges the same price for both books. Somehow, this doesn't seem fair. The Bubbling Under book should of been complete with all the records that bubbled under or at least cost half the price. What do you think? |

Does the book not contain every single that peaked between 101 and 150 in Record World? It should, regardless if it peaked in Billboard's Hot 100 or Billboard's Bubbling Under. I certainly hope I misread or misunderstood the above statement. That's what I thought I was paying for when I ordered the book yesterday. In fact, if a song peaked at, say, #76 in Billboard and #123 in Record World, I'd certainly want to know about that - because it would be a better indication to me (and a fuller picture) of how the song actually did nationally. So, I sure hope none of the songs that peaked between #101 and #150 were left off the Record World Hit Records Book of songs that peaked between #101 and #150.
