It appears that the numbers dip below 100, so there could be a "000001", and the highest we've seen is Chris-An Ordinary Fool's "000858". So, for sure, I'd say that there are 1000 sets likely. We'll have to see if any more chime in with numbers outside that range.

When I received the box, I placed narrow letter note at bottom of each 4-divider, so I can pull the end of the letter note and discs easily pop up.raz42289 said:The only thing I have qualms with is the fact I have to use a pen or a key to get the last few mini 45s out of the squares. I wish they had made it bigger for that purpose alone.
Chris-An Ordinary Fool said:Actually mistake was the wrong word to use, what I meant was that I found it kinda odd that a single would be released to DJ's to play with a recording from 1977 and then back it with a recording from 1969. How many DJ's would really play something like that? Was it maybe to spark more interest in the earlier album?
Chris-An Ordinary Fool said:Just something I noticed today on Disc 27, "Mr Guder" b side on Japan 45 single.
The version that appears on Disc 27 is not the same version that appears on the US 45. I have 2 U.S. singles with Mr Guder, 1 is a White Label Promo and the other is the standard stock both containing Mr Guder. On both of these U.S. 45's Mr Guder is edited and stops at approx 2:35, it stops shortly after Richard and Karen start the ba da ba da ba da and it fades out it never even gets to the familar.....please play your game etc....
I always thought the US single was strange when it cut off like that since I am so use to the album version.

What a gift you and so many others are to this forum. Thanks again.
Harry said:I'm in the process of dubbing all of the singles in the box to three CD-Rs. I did the first 11 on one CD-R last week, and did the second one earlier today. The first one topped out at around 67:00, and the second one came in three seconds short of the 80-minute CD-R limit at 79:54.
I've been allowing a three second dead space between the end of a track 2 and the beginning of the next disc. I'm hoping that the timing will work out on the third disc since the later tracks tend to be longer. My original plan was to "fix" the wrong mixes on the "Ave Maria" disc, but I think I'll transfer them exactly as they are. It's not like I don't have the correct original tracks on the German CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT, so I'll transfer the tracks exactly as they appear on the set.Harry
