Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: [ARSCLIST] Dating LPs ?

I do understand that there is a smattering of information here and there
with regards to classical LPs.  And I have a couple of the guides that you
reference with respect to microgroove LPs and I have not found "release
dates" for the discs themselves.

Maybe I'm still too naive:  my goal is to be able to have all of this
information in a single, consistent, reliable, searchable database.

You have given me some good examples and resources.
Much Appreciated!

> As a serious classical record collector,of over sixteen years,who came in
after there were no more new classical records,and had learned a lot,I find
it very difficult to beleve you have not seen any of the large volume of
discographical information that is out there,both in print,and
online.Assuming someone knows absolutely zero about this stuff,I would
suggest you start with  The Canfield Guide to Classical Records.For Living
Stereo,we have "The RCA Bible",for early stereo we have "The Audiophile
Record Collector's Handbook"by Phil Reese,for early Decca/London stereo,we
have an out of print book called "Full Frequency Stereophonic
Sound".Mainspring Press has published several very well researched books on
opera,and Victor Red Seal 78s.These are indespensible,I have two of
them.There have been a couple of very good discographies of EMI classical
and opera 78s,which I never bought.
