thank you!

one question - where do the disc titles/descriptors come from (e.g. 'Sports Action' for Disc 1) - they don't appear to be on the discs/covers themselves - my guess is that it's either a) a catalogue or some such thing or b) there's a listing in later volumes (I've only looked at the first one)

I love the instrument selection in these. There are Proteus sounds, M1 sounds, and the HR-16 drums. Sounds very 90s. ;D

The disks until 15 are from 1992.
They are currently labelled as 1990-1996 on your website. Source for disk 15.
The entries match the track list, so this seem to be legit.

Maybe I can retrieve the other release years.

Thanks for that, I've updated the site entries

Not to mention some of my discs are re-issues. For instance, volume 4 has some entirely different tracks on the two variants. One has 1992 printed on the disc and the other has no year printed ... so it is unclear as to when they were re-issued.

I know how much of a pain it is. Especially since I doubt they are all released that year; that'd be too many tracks to be realistically done. However, I checked the wayback machine's sites and I read the Canary brochure that you could literally send in whatever you liked (if the composer was to abide a few pretty standard rules, e.g. Underscore versions, 30/60 second versions and cold ending [no fade out]), so it could be possible when a bunch of unnamed artists sent their stuff in that year.. The again, the whole Canary Collection went a long way, and I think we might run into a "Kayser Medienverlag" dilemma: Recorded earlier, then re-issued in one batch in a certain year. Sound-wise, it fits 1992, as well as the change of sound due to the vast different in artist skills - some sound like from a more sophisticated studio, some discs have that "mid-quality sound card + General MIDI wavetable + Windows 3.1 with Cubase VST" sound to them. That would just add up to the fact they accepted tracks from many sources.

But since I (and probably you too) are pretty much on the mercy of external sources and their date, and if they are plausible, I take that over any wild speculation :)

You are probably the last source of this kind of sound, and the LMT forums are pretty divided onto that. Even moreso with the split "shares" threads (<1990 / >1990). I've been through all the libraries available online and when you stop sharing your treasures, I think I can consider my collection as "so far complete". I see what the near future brings; I might engage PayPal again very soon :-)
