very cool, Retro Joe. tracks downloaded without title or artist info, so I wasn't able to put them in proper order. but there just aren't any stinkers, so even on random play, it was terrific. especially like tracks by The Miracles, Jimmy Ruffin and The Originals. thanks for sharing this stuff, archive man.
