Got some very sad news today. One of our regular board members, Mark Mathews (username: MMathews) has passed away.
As most of you know, Mark did A LOT of work on the various artists CDs that we all love so much. He was always generous and helpful with his time and expertise. This is a HUGE loss for us music collectors, his friends and family. May he Rest in Peace. |

I'm stunned to see this sad news. I will miss him and his huge contributions to this chat board. God bless him!! ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Very shocked to read this news. Mark was a Facebook friend
and would comment on humorous memes and photos as well as event photos I was the DJ for. I only came to know Mark through this forum, BSN and through the collector's group. May a wonderful man rest in peace. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

So very sad to hear this.
He and I are about the same age. We both grew up around New York City, listening to the same stuff on the radio. His first 45 was actually the same as my first 45: "Le Freak" by Chic. We started strong. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

This is horrible news! Mark was one of my best friends. We first connected
around '98-ish during the Napster days. We just spoke on the phone just 2 or 3 nights ago, and he seemed fine. What happened? I can’t believe this news. I’m beyond saddened by this. I can’t imagine a world without him. One of the nicest guys EVER. Like others have said here, he was very generous with his time and knowledge. RIP Mark, and my condolences to his family and friends. |

This is terrible. I’m shocked at hearing this awful news. I was just listening
to one of the new CDs Mark had a hand in creating for Hit Parade Records and was admiring the work he (and a few select others) had done. Although I didn’t know him and hadn’t met him, I learned a bunch from Mark’s expertise on this board. He was a very talented guy with a good ear who had the ability to pay attention to detail, and had the knowledge and patience to discover and notice minor details in recordings. He will certainly be missed. A major loss to this board. I feel for his friends and family. So sorry to hear. Jon O. |

Very sad to hear this news.
I actually got the chance to personally thank him for the extra fine work he'd done on CD. I'd accidentally gotten billed twice for an order from Eric once. When I called about it, I told the person on the phone about how much I enjoyed their output. I was completely shocked when that person introduced himself and told me how much he enjoyed making them. That's right. Mark answered the phones at Eric. We had a very nice conversation about our mutual love of collecting music while he corrected the billing issue. When we were done, I told him to keep up the good work. And we hung up. A brief meeting, but one I will always remember fondly. |

I was so happy that Mark decided to join us for that Downey Board zoom meeting we did a few years back. In fact, you'll
hear/see many board members in the video and I'm so glad we all got together to talk about our backgrounds and collections! Mark's story starts just after the 41-minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfZrKxCEIrk - Downey Board Meeting #2 |

I hope that somehow Mark can hear all the wonderful things
that we are saying about him. In our interactions, he was always kind, considerate, generous, and positive. I still can't quite believe he is gone, honestly. I'm so grateful that our paths crossed and we were able to become friends. I have quite a few rare low-charting Hot 100 songs because Mark shared them with me (such as "Future Shock" by Hello People and "Machines" by John LaVigni, both from 1975), and I'll always think of him when I listen to them. I think that might be how he would like to be remembered, honestly. |

I was saddened to hear of his passing. We spoke once on the phone and he was so full of life and eager to help anyone with their collections at any time obtain a dub of those rare 45's.
We joked about his love for music and mine and what started us down our path. The last thing he shared with me was a hard to find airplay hit, John Gary's Cold which is not on CD. A generous man who passed way too soon... ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Yes, I agree we should do another zoom meeting - this one about Mark. I
had just written the following to a couple fellow members a couple days ago: Mark's passing has hurt me in a deep way I can't even describe. I was trying to think of something to do. We can't have a memorial service because we all live in different parts of the country (and world) ... BUT I was thinking it would be nice to have a Zoom call, "A Celebration of the Life of Mark Matthews", where anyone from the Pat Downey board could join if they wish, and we could each share our memories of Mark - whether funny memories, thoughtful things, how he impacted our lives - just a positive sharing of stories that probably very few of us even know about. *** Who here would be interested in participating? Can anyone set up a group Zoom meeting? And also, when do you think we should do this? It's probably too close to Christmas to do it in December, so maybe early January?? |

Hey, all... My apologies with the late reply to this thread. I, too, share in the shock and sadness over Mark Matthews' rather unexpected passing recently. A couple of years ago, I received a courtesy phone call from an individual who simply wanted to verify some information regarding a recent order I had placed with Eric Records online. It wasn't until several minutes into the conversation that I discovered I was actually talking to Mr. Mark Mathews himself! He was every bit the class act he had always been during our prior email conversations that we used to regularly engage in. I have always been a big fan of Mark's stellar remastering work, especially when he would successfully unearth a long lost master tape containing a hard-to-find single version or mix previously unreleased on CD. He was always very gracious about sharing the fruits of his labor with fellow music collectors, and I will always be very highly appreciative and grateful to him for his valuable contributions to our music libraries and community. That said, I am sorry for not having been in contact with him more often in recent years. Mark will surely be missed. (By the way, does anyone have any updates regarding the circumstances surrounding his passing?)
Meanwhile, I have also experienced a death of a close relative within my own family over the past week. Again, this was a situation in which this family member and I had drifted apart over the past couple of years. Now I am highly remorseful that I wasn't more proactive in reaching out. This is all making me open my eyes to the sobering fact that, due to extenuating personal reasons, I have been largely absent from the Pat Downey chat board forum for approximately nine years now... which is absolutely stunning to me! I am realizing that nobody is guaranteed a long life -- let alone tomorrow -- and that life is too short to continue living it so reclusively. In the spirit of the Christmas season and beyond, I've decided that it's long past time for me to "come out of the shadows" and start reconnecting and interacting again with good friends from yesteryear. With that said, I have every intention of returning to the message board shortly after the holidays and becoming a regular database contributor once again. During my extensive absence, I've been continuing to absorb myself in collecting Top 40 music (and even expanding my library to now include Billboard Hot 100 hits from 1958-1991) whenever time permits and have amassed pages and pages of typewritten notes along the way. I only hope that I don't start driving poor Pat crazy again with my obsession over minute details and making him wish that I would go back into retirement! LOL :-) By the way, I am 1,000% in favor of the idea of organizing a group video call among the Downey chat board community to honor Mark Mathews and perhaps even other members we've lost along the way (Jim Abbott immediately comes to mind) and/or discussing anything else of general interest related to Top 40 music, CD releases, music charts, etc. I would love the opportunity to reconnect with all the legendary longtime veterans here and also meet and interact with newer members. Please keep me in the loop, Aaron, whenever you are able to schedule this session, and count me in! |

Todd, great to see you back on the board! I always wondered where you went all these years.
It's my understanding that Mark's passing was very sudden and occurred during his sleep. Totally unexpected. However, someone posted that his father died of a massive heart attack at age 54, so there may have been some hereditary factors at play. A huge loss to us and the music collecting community as a whole. I've lost a lot of family and friends the past few years and it's given me a greater appreciation for life in general. |

Count me in on the get together!
The stories shared will be a wonderful way to honor his memory! A dear friend reminded me a few months back after someone we both knew had passed: We're at the age where we go to more funerals than weddings! Sad but true. But we honored their memory and it does make a difference in our hearts and memories. |

Hello everyone.
I do not post on this site very often; I am more of a reader trying to learn from the rest of you. However, I will post what I sent to Aaron to request an invite for tomorrow's tribute call to Mark. Mark did a lot of work for me in the past, and he was forever knowledgeable, kind, and a gentleman when I spoke with him on the phone. _________________________________________________________ Hello Aaron. Please send me a link for tomorrow's conference call to pay tribute to Mark Mathews. I am not a regular poster to this site; I am more of a reader who tries to learn from the rest of you who are much more technical than I in that you know how to do A/B comparisons, clean up 45s digitally, listen for mix differences, etc. Having said that, Mark was a major reason why I didn't have to be technical. He helped me with hundreds of songs in my never-ending quest to find the commercial mono mixes of many records from the 1960s and 1970s. His work was nothing but perfection, and I spoke with him on the phone many times, and he was nothing but kind and considerate. I have bought everything he and Bill produced for Eric Records and their sister labels, including his fantastic instrumental series and the DES discs they have released in recent years. I was in the process of developing another list for him when he passed away, but the past year has slowed me down because my mother also passed away, and I have had to take time to work on her estate. Anyway, I will miss Mark terribly, and I would like to be part of the call to honor him. May God have mercy on his soul and grant him eternal rest and peace. And Aaron, thank you for offering to put this call together. I appreciate your kindness. Sincerely, Michael A.

That was a really nice tribute to Mark today. I really enjoyed hearing what
people had to say. And most importantly, I found it quite comforting when Bill (Mark's boss) said that these last 10 years in California (since he started working at Eric Records) were Mark's best and happiest times. He died much too young, but I'm glad at least his last decade was his happiest. He certainly accomplished a lot and did so much for so many people. |

Hey gang,
Just finished watching the "Mark Mathews Memorial & Music Collector Chat". I really wanted to attend it, but unfortunately, I had been out (my) Saturday night for a few, and forgot to set an alarm to wake me up at 3am (Thailand time) to attend (we are GMT+7). And with the iPhone being on silent for the night, I guess there was no sound for the Calendar alarm (or it was too quiet). It was great putting faces and voices to many of our collecting crowd. Also great that his sister Marilyn came and shared many Markie anecdotes about Mark the person. Hearing stories about what you guys did as youngsters and the various things you did reminded me of the things I used to do, such as recording songs right of the radio onto cassette, being thrilled when Napster appeared, etc. And of course, your "how you met Mark" stories. I met him around 1999 as well, and we sent each other burned CDs of music that was not yet available on CD. Being from Canada, he had asked me for some Canadian tracks, some of which are STILL not on CD! And Mark - as well as the "oldies", he sent me a bunch of dance mixes (yep, he loved Disco!). It's a shame about what can't be issued due to not being able to license it - and the reasons why (money money money). I figure if it can 't be done after making an attempt to do it "legally", then yes, get it to us who care to appreciate this stuff - "under the table" as Bill put it. Isn't that how we got the Instrumental 1963-1969 and 1970s CDs? Finally, when Paul Haney asked the question about the warehouse full of singles and Bill Buster replied "...half a million", my eyes (and ears!) perked up. What a thrill it would be to attempt to digitize all the mono 45s from the late 50s to the early 70s that are not yet (and many never will be...) on CD! That is something I would do! Let's start with the Hot 100! Ahh, but A dream, I guess. Walt: If you've read this, please direct me to your YouTube channel. I looked for it, but found a saxophonist! ------------- dc1 |

Hello everyone.
I should have sent this weeks ago, but I have been away from my fun sites on my laptop for several weeks because of work. I want to thank everyone who participated in the conference call dedicated to Mark on January 20th. It was a wonderful tribute, and it was wonderful to meet some people I have seen post on this website many times, and it was more special because it was in Mark's memory, a truly wonderful man (I apologize for my overuse of the word "wonderful," but I believe it is very fitting in this case). I especially want to thank Aaron for handling the logistics and scheduling of the conference call. He makes so many things possible on this website. God's Blessings to All.

There is an upcoming CD release on the Hit Parade Records label that includes a couple of Mark's final stereo mixes.
These new stereo mixes (two 1963 Top 40 Steve Lawrence songs) were from the actual master tapes and not DES creations. It is a nice tribute to the mixfixer (Mark) and his fine talent that Bill Buster decided to include these new stereo mixes. Below is a link to the future CD release: mailto:https://www.ericrecords.com/htf_StereoExpl-11.html - https://www.ericrecords.com/htf_StereoExpl-11.html In six weeks it will be the one year anniversary of Mark's passing.
