Frequently asked
Quick answers
How do I find all editions with one musician?
Type or tap the name above. You see every edition on which they are credited according to the line-up, and who is credited on the same records. “Show only these editions in the catalogue” filters the list below.
Where do the line-ups come from?
From the line-up lists in our product texts. Where an edition has no list yet, the artist in the album name counts (bands do not count as a person). Credited together means on the same edition, not necessarily in the same session.
What does “AAA” mean?
The label uses it for an all-analogue chain from recording to lacquer cut. We show it only where the label states it.
How do I find a recording by composer?
Tap the name in “By composer” – the catalogue then shows only recordings with works by that composer.
