Act Discography Index
The list of available act discographies is given in the table on the right. Label / other discographies have their own section.
These discographies are generally limited in their content to releases by the act where they are headlining throughout. i.e. Appearances in 'Various Artists' compilations are therefore generally excluded.

I have attempted to standardise the appearance of the discographies and the notation within them to make them easy to use once you are familiar with the format. As this section of the website closely relates to the artist information section (giving background information about them) whenever you view an act discography a link entitled Biography is added to the right hand menu. Similarly from the act's own information page there is a link back to their discography.
Discographies are typically laid out in the following format:
(Act name) discography
Summary of releases: (optional)
- (Format(s)): (Act name) - '(Name of release 1)'
- (Format(s)): (Act name) - '(Name of release 2)'
- etc...
(Any relevant notes about the information contained, sometimes making reference to other related discographies)
|
(Format(s)): (Act name) - '(Name of release 1)'
(Record label(s)) / (Release month(s) / year(s) if known)
(Format 1): (Cat. number) / (Format 2): (Cat. number) / etc... |
|
- Track 1 (optional mix name)
- * Track 2
- + Track 3 ||
- Track 4
- etc...
* (Note about track 2)
+ [Rhythm xxx] |
Release 2 etc...
Quite often a release will be found to have an entry in more than one discography - for example in an act discography and in the discography of a record label that released it. In such cases, links to that item from other act discography releases or the Rhythm Directory are made preferentially to its act discography entry.
Releases are referred to by their On-U / Blanc / Century / Pressure Sounds / Hitrun etc classification numbers (as quoted in the respective label discography) wherever possible, otherwise the release's name is usually given. Note: These classification numbers do not always translate into catalogue numbers carried by releases. Where possible, a thumbnail image depicting sleeve artwork or label information is provided. Larger versions of these images and related examples are gradually being made available via in the Image Bank. Where such material exists, it can be reached directly by clicking on the thumbnail image (you'll need JavaScript activated for this to work). Doing this opens a small new window, also allowing you to browse through the images of related items that appear in the same discography.
The symbol || after a track marks the point of a vinyl and / or cassette side break where this information is known. If no differentiation between these formats is made you can reasonably assume that the side-break applies to both. Track notes containing annotations in the style [Rhythm xxx] refer to Culf and Richard Davies' Rhythm Directory classification system for linking tracks together on a similar-sounding basis.
As much information as possible is given about releases made outside the UK. Note: Unless stated otherwise the information given is for UK editions of releases. Non UK-originated releases are of course harder for me (being based in the UK) to get hold of and so details are likely to be more patchy.
