Jukebox compilation CDs

At some point near the end of 1990, I signed up with "Record Source International", a record pool in Mineral Wells, Texas. They'd send me about five 45s per week, and they were much cheaper than trying to find the singles in stores. RSI would send out a "trade publication" every month, which was useless except for the ads. I quickly found ads for "Hot Hits" and "Spotlight On Hits", two jukebox services that mailed you compilation CDs every two months. The guy that employed me as a mobile DJ also had some jukeboxes, so I was set.

The compilations began rolling in at the beginning of 1991, and the ones I have are documented here. (I also have Vols. 9-30 of "Spotlight On Hits", but I'll assume you really don't care that much.)

Just for the record, Record Source International folded sometime in the mid-1990s (fooey - they were nice people), and I stopped buying 45s around 1994.
