This may be of interest to some on here - S60, the mini coffee-table book marking 60 years of the Sonoton library is available from the designers:
store.discopogo.co/merch/559493-disco-pogo-sonoton-60
It's not cheap, unfortunately, but it's got some nice bits in it, like an interview with Gerhard and Heidi Narholz, mini biogs of some of the composers, a discography etc - a lot of stuff about the library business in the 21st century too, which while not my era at all is fairly interesting from a business perspective!

Wow. Thanks a lot for the heads up. This will go lovely Ali ride the similar Tele Music book.

Hurray, happy 60th anniversary to Sonoton. Let's go guys.

Not cheap, huh? Yeah, i agree, but not that expensive neither. It's just a mid-range balanced price, so it's neither cheap nor expensive in my opinion. Also, if i'm not mistaken, then in my country, if i convert $45 to Indonesian Rupiah, it's as nearly as Rp765.000 according to my research.
Apology in advance for that, but it is my opinion on that. :)

It's a joke, Yohannes. Don't worry. As explanation, in England there is a belief that people from Yorkshire have a reputation for being "careful" with their money. 😂 😂

I hope you get a commission, LT! They're all sold out now.
-
Yes cheers LT. I’d be gutted to have missed that.

Was at Vinylcon this last weekend and was given one for free by the APM guys. It helped that I brought over a big stack of library LPs that I picked up to their table lol. Need that TeleMusic book though...
-
Did I see you on Instagram with that recent haul?
-
Yeah, that was me haha
-
Mine has arrived. Looks great!

Not sure how to feel about that other than totally envious!! 😂 😂 Congrats.
-
Very cool. Thanks for the tip, LT!

Is there any info on the SON316-322 LPs in the book Retronic? I find it strange that they are not added to discogs and there are no pictures of them online that i have seen. Were they ever released or where the CD "reissues" the first time the music was released?
-
I’ll check tonight. My personal run of LPs stops at 314 I think.
-
There’s a SON 323 - Sounds of Science (1989). Seems to be the last.

These have always been a bit mysterious, but I think they were either: A.) planned, but never actually released as LPs or B.) released, but pressed in extremely limited quantities because of the transition to CD, with little distribution.
Sonoton's LPs were generally widely distributed in what seems to be a fairly large number of pressings, and considering that none of us have ever seen any copies of these specific ones, I strongly suspect option A to be the case - though I'd love to be proven wrong on this.
