You could try IASA Cataloguing Rules, here: https://www.iasa-web.org/cataloguing-rules
They’re based on AACR2, and date from 1999.
Like Paul Jackson says, what’s included depends very much on the purposes.
You could also try music library associations, like IAML and MLA, and their listserves. They may have some rules for cataloguing recordings, even though they’re not recording collectors.
