Limited Edition Motown CD Production Statistics

[woodward]

The Complete Motown Singles collection had a production quantity as follows for each year that they were released.

Vol. 1 59-61 5,000 non-numbered limited editions
Vol. 2 1962 8,000 " " " "
Vol. 3 1963 7,500 " " " "
Vol. 4 1964 8,000 " " " "
Vol. 5 1965 8,000 " " " "
Vol. 6 1966 6,000 " " " "
Vol. 7 1967; 6,000 " " " "
Vol. 8 1968;
Vol. 9 1969
V. 10 1970 8,000 " " " "
V. 11A
and B 1971 8,000 " " " "
V. 12A
and B 1972 7,500 " " " "

The above production statistics gives owners some idea of the rarity or plentifulness of the various sets.

Now, what I am very curious about is the following:

Does any one have comparable production statistics for [[one example)

MEET THE SUPREMES 2010 Hip O Select release
Expanded Edition

I am just using this ONE EXAMPLE. There are numerous limited edition
Hip O Select releases. Just wondering how plentiful or rare they are.
I have never seen any quantity production statistics for any of the
Limited Edition Hip O Select CDs.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
