   Like most members on this forum, your announcement brings me joy. Like a long lost friend has returned! Bought the last version 8 years ago and it's still in pristine condition because I haven't opened it since. As I "mature" my interest has sadly waned so hopefully the youngsters will make this book a big success.
Also saw your post on Ukmix. A member there published "Synopsis of US Country Charts 1954-1982" (quite the mouthful) which is much like your Comparison Book (think you were quoted that this was your favorite Record Research book) applied to the C&W charts. The book's format is much different. You can check out samples on the kindle page here: https://www.amazon.com/Synopsis-US-Country-Charts-1954-1982-ebook/dp/B0GFFZNPYV ; Was thinking about buying it but no....

Looking forward to hearing more about the future of Record Research.

	I too am very pleased that a new book is coming. Sadly, I will not be able to purchase this due to high postage costs to the UK (Not RR's fault of course I do understand that it costs what it costs!) but I am very pleased that a new book is coming. I can elaborate more on this Country book as I helped create it back in 2019. Its purpose was to distill the three Country charts from Billboard, Cashbox and Record World in the exact same way as the Comparison book. The book was initially a free PDF and still is I think as I have never taken the link down. This is a printed copy for those who want such a thing. I think that the author is not making much if anything as it is quite a lot to get books printed. If you want a copy then the download is here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/a6z1rb5tdd4cbfqij1gm9/Comparison-Country.pdf?rlkey=k9r7w5jaue1ifl628k8bvfyq9&dl=1 Hopefully there are no issues with the link.
