Just been looking at my motown 7's box set and noticed that they run in order of sorts but it jumps

534 543-0

534 543-1

534 543-2

then it leaps to

534 542-6

534 542-7

534 542-8

534 542-9

 

Are there some others with these prefix numbers

 

IT WAS IN THE OTHER THREAD CONSENSUS  WAS THE MISSING NUMBERS ARE POSSIBLY IN THE NEXT BOX SET

But you have not listed them in order , you are taking the -0 as the first but 542 comes before 543 so surely the order is ....

 

534 542-6

534 542-7

534 542-8

534 542-9

 

534 543-0

534 543-1

534 543-2

 

 

Which would mean there is no gap and the records are in sequence ?

534 542 - 5  number has been used for the box that the singles are contained in !

534 542 - 5  number has been used for the box that the singles are contained in !

So again, logically in sequence - 

 

first the box...

 

534 542-5

 

then the individual 45's contained therein...

 

534 542-6

534 542-7

534 542-8

534 542-9

 

534 543-0

Maybe the batch of numbers previous to 534 542-5 have been used or allocated?

Exactly, if you are going to use a zero then you would usually start with it not a five.

I just wondered if there had been some others prior to these 7

Why does it matter Kev ?  as it is,  the records are numbered in sequence and more importantly uniquely identified.  There are no missing numbers in the sequence. If there had been 10 records in the box there would of been two zero's!
