Capitol Records Discography

[mikeweil]

I know there was a label discography about Capitol published on CDR by a Durch group of people, I'm sorry but cannot remember their name. It was label discography like those on Blue Note,  Prestige,  Atlantic etc,. Does any board member have a copy for sale or know about a source to acquire this . I need it for some of my didcographical research.

Thankscin advance.

Mike, this is the German edition of 75 Years of Capitol Records.

I haven't seen it; but even if it does not include a discography, perhaps its index will include the title of what you are looking for.

Price of this oop book in Germany is ridiculous. But chances are I can access it in the National Library in Frankfurt as it was a German publication. Not  exactly what I am looking for but worth investivgating. Thanks for the hint.

I suppose the Capitol Records discography accessible on the Both Sides Now site is not detailed enough for you?

Correct. I want master numbers, dates and locations, unissued tracks and all. Like in the Ruppli books. I know it was soll by some Dutch society which no länger exists. Or so it seems. I want to doa George Shearing discography. There are contradictions between info in the Tom Lord Discogrsphy and on recent reissues.

Those so called discographies do not deserve to be called so. They are just album track listings.

When at a mom-n-pop record store in Anniston, Alabama, the owner mentioned a previous serious digger.  "He bugged me about my back stock cause he was running the Capitol label."  My quick reply was, "Well, I hope the guy has executive experience."
