Record Catalogues

CHARM now holds a substantial collection of historic and modern record catalogues from UK and international labels. These are listed below in label order, and are available for consultation at King's College London. This list is complete as of April 2008.

The collection continues to grow, and we would be pleased to receive copies of material not in our collecion. Our EMI lists are particularly good, but there are gaps elsewhere it would be good to fill. Please contact charm@kcl.ac.uk in the first instance. In addition, click here (pdf file) to see a list of Roger Beardsley's complementary collection.

For further contact details of record companies and distributors, see the listings by clicking here.

The lists include the following information (where known): title, date, pagination and binding. Thus 'Introducing BIS Baroque, nd, 4p p/b' is an undated four-page leaflet entitled Introducing BIS Baroque.
