Of course I keep and consult Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia, and the
supplements
of which I have only a few, but little else in the Classical line, perhaps
some artist discographies, some included in published biographies or
??Record Collector (UK pub documenting classical singers). Are there
comprehensive discographies of classical music (similar to the long line
of Jazz and Blues discographies) ??
Here is a list of Jazz/Big Band items (I assume all the information in these
has been incorporated in the current version of the CD-ROM Jazz
Discography):

Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] obsolete discographies

I'm interested only in historical recordings of classical music. Having
old discographies can help determine when a particular recording was
issued. What do you have in this regard?
