Fantastic year of music. Been working to put it together accurately from positions 1-475 on Billboard and if anyone has input or where to find CD/Digital source for some of the harder to find hits please let me know.
The following don't appear to be on CD at all. No 45. No LP version. No 12'' Nothing in the 2026 "Digital" world of commercial USA CD releases. If I'm wrong as Peter Frampton says Show Me The Way.
214 Niteflyte - If You Want It
Did find this on Two Slow to Disco 2 on CD in Europe from 2015

https://www.discogs.com/release/579182-Various-Free-Soul-Impressions" rel="nofollow - https://www.discogs.com/release/579182-Various-Free-Soul-Impressions
279 Funky Communication Committee - Baby I Want You
353 Cheryl Barnes - Easy To Be Hard
363 Nancy Brooks - I'm Not Gonna Cry Anymore
389 Randy Brown - You Says It All
400 Zwol - Call Out My Name
450 Bama - Touch Me When We're Dancing
453 Wonder Band - Whole Lotta Love
471 Liner - You and Me
474 Bill Wray - Pinball, That's All
Otherwise I've been able to locate an LP, 12'' or something that came out for everyone but the above artists.
As for LP versions these don't appear on CD or digital anywhere
396 Take Boom - Night Dancin'
452 Keith Herman - She's Got A Whole Number
Same for these 12''
186 Wet Willie - Weeknd (Special Disco Version)
208 Crusaders - Street Life (Special Full Length US Disco Mix)
366 Philly Cream - Motown Review
396 Take Boom - Night Dancin (12'' Short version Disco Intro)
433 Ultimate - Touch Me Baby, Love Is the Ultimate, Dancing In The Night (Short 12'' Promo)
This bodes well for the Top 40. As I stated before, any help is appreciated.
Also as an observation or two:
Maxine Nightingale - (Bringing Out) The Girl In Me - All digital transfers are mono and sound horrible. The actual 45 sounds great and is in stereo.
Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him? - The 45 is very mono pretty much (either that or barely stereo if any) and that reflects on the digital transfers. So unless you do DES stereo this appears the only track that is in mono in the year.
Thanks in advance as always for your help.

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

"Is She Really Going Out With Him" is in stereo, although very narrow stereo. That's the way it was mixed for the LP and 45, and it's accurately reflected in the digital versions. I wouldn't characterize it as "mono".
