Album DiscographiesI started on album discographies because of my interest in stereo (which was mostly on albums, of course), and because there just weren't any good album discographies out there that had the kinds of information I needed. Mainly, this data has been sitting around in my files for years, and I finally decided to put it to good use by posting it for all to use and enjoy.
In mid-1997, Both Sides Now was fortunate to add the research capabilities and perseverence of David
Edwards of Ohio. Dave and I were joined in late 1999 by Patrice Eyries of France, another discographer
with considerable research ability. Dave and Patrice are responsible for providing most of the basic
discographical information in the Discography Section. Dave, Patrice, and I will usually work on a label
and then post it when we've reached a point where we've run out of handy information. In 2007, we
were joined by another discographer, Randy Watts. Readers and Internet friends then add to the
information, so each discography is a work in progress. We have been helped a great deal by
"discography consultants" such as Tim Neely and the late Bob Hyde, also, who have done a lot of work
on certain discographies. The date of the most recent update is usually on the top of each discography
page, and also on the left in the listing below.
The info you'll find here was obtained mostly by the "Brute Force Method," which involves getting and listening to the albums when possible, combing original sources of LP listings, looking through used record stores, and the like. We have tried to list the tracks in the order they appear on the album, with a double slash ("//") indicating a change of side. This was not always possible, however, as sometimes we just have a list of tracks. We also list the stereo content where available. Each song is noted as being mono (M), true stereo (S), or electronically rechanneled (fake stereo) (E).
Chart information was taken from Joel Whitburn's The Billboard Albums, which reflect the US Billboard charts from 1956 to 2005. Joel has been the ultimate source on chart positions since his first little orange book in 1970. If you haven't done so already, we'd suggest you click here to visit his web site.
We would appreciate any additions or corrections to these discographies, as well as help with other discographies you would like to see listed here. We would also appreciate posting the album discographies of other collectors and researchers (with proper credit given, of course). At this time, except for stereo single discographies, we are not planning to post singles discographies. Please send your comments to us via e-mail, or use the e- mail link on each discography page.
IMPORTANT: Our discography listings are provided for your research and information. We are not a catalog, we are not affiliated with any record company, we are not a record/CD store, nor are we a record or CD search service. We cannot find the records listed in our discographies for you. E- mails asking us to sell records listed in our discographies, or to find records for people, will be ignored. We are sorry to have to say this, but getting 50 e-mails a day asking us to find records for people is not fun. I know, I've tried to answer these in the past. But if folks can't be bothered to read our FAQ page, which has tips for finding records and everything we know on the subject, and can't be bothered to put the effort into finding their own items, then neither can I be bothered to answer your e-mail. Fair enough? Any other on-topic correspondence is welcome. Mike Callahan
