Newly found! Newly added! Newly restored!From the MCRFB collection.This selected audio recording was digitally remastered for this feature presentation by Motor City Radio Flashbacks.
Bob Austin, publisher, and Sid Parnes, editor-in-chief of Record World, and Sam Chase, publisher of Music Business, are pleased to announce the absorption of the publication Music Business and its assets into Record World. We believe that this association will be a strong, constructive force in the industry.
It had been evident to us for sometime that four papers were proving to be a financial burden to the industry, thus limiting the growth of both publications. This step will not only eliminate that burden but will create a highly vital force by taking what has been most positive in both magazines and combining them into one strong entity. Because this combination reflects what, in our opinion, the industry has been requesting and looking forward to,we did everything in our means to achieve it.
Therefore, Music Business has now ceased publication, but many of its features will shortly be incorporated in a newly expanded Record World. There will also be an integration of staffs which will serve the industry as a knowledgeable and experienced working group.
Record World will immediately embark on an extensive expansion program. With the amalgamation of staffs, we will be equipped to cover even more thoroughly every area of interest and use to those associated with the music and record fields.We intend to initiate projects that will be beneficial both to our readers and our advertisers and to reach into areas which are now either not being covered or only lightly touched upon.
With the combination of Record World and Music Business circulations, we believe that we will now be able to offer the second highest paid circulation of any of the trade papers in our field. The strength of this circulation should make itself felt immediately. This move has been made by all the parties concerned in the interests of building a stronger paper for our industry and serving it in the most useful way possible.

By mid-January 1965, the Detroit Sound Survey charts was no longer printed for the public in general. The WXYZ charts, as featured above, were instead published solely for Detroit record retailers, music outlets, one-stop jobbers, and distributors only.
These Radio 1270 top 40 charts was the largest of the WXYZ Detroit Sound Survey charts ever printed, having measured 17.5″ W x 22 L” inches in size. These charts were primarily used for weekly record rank based by popularity, position, retail sales, and were used for record retail rack displays as well.
For the very first time, Motor City Radio Flashbacks will be featuring a dozen or so — as chart dated — of these extremely rare WXYZ 1965 surveys throughout the year, 2024.
