This is a dumb sub-thread. You say plainly that you have "no interest" in jazz. I'm sure there are
plenty of jazz fans with "no interest" in classical music. I happen to have interest in both, so
good to know of two online resources. My original point was concerning jazz discography, which
perhaps wasn't made clear.
BTW, regarding classical catalogs, I put up a bunch of my scans on archive.org a while back. Mine
that site and you can grab PDFs of Philips and Mercury catalogs that are either entirely classical
or heavy on classical. You also might want to reach out to UC Santa Barbara, which has a massive
archive of record-company catalogs and listings.
