Here's what I have:


Pretty good stuff. I'm especially in De Wolfe's library catalog as there are still quite a few songs I have yet to know the origin of found in various CDs. I'd love it if you would share it soon.

UPDATES:

Southern - assorted catalogues and supplements (thanks to Your Pal Doug!)
Standard 1970 Catalogue
Peer - small section added
KPM c.1969 and 1987 (thanks to Mr for the former)
Themes International - 2 catalogues (thanks to Mr again)
Studio G - 1 catalogue added (thanks to Mr once again)
Chappell CDs 1997

- These added just before the crash a few days ago.

Newly added today:

Macquarie-Bosworth
and Macquarie-Boosey and Hawkes - possibly the oldest catalogues here, detailing Australian issues of some early Bosworths and pre-2000 Booseys. These are the only original catalogues for Bosworth 78s I've ever seen!

Just to be clear, there was no crash. It was a host/server issue.

I was worried actually - the "issue" the other day occurred moments after I updated this thread and another glitch this morning, again seconds after I updated this thread again. My massive opening post isn't affecting things, is it? :(

Excellent write-up, thank you for your work!

I have some additional info:
- The 1985 Themes catalogue is 36 pages.


In addition to the UK catalogues currently listed:

I own a few Focus Music Library-related things;
1) An early 2 page A4 booklet (c. 1991?) with FCD101 through FCD127.
2) It came housed in a paper folder which details releases up to FCD154 and 4 additional CD releases with "t.b.a." listed as cat.#. Undated.
3) And bundled together with a 16-page ringbound "Style-alike list 2002/3" booklet, which also has a catalogue on the last page detailing releases up to FCD180.



Switzerland/Austria?:
I also own a "Cosmos Library Background Music System Catalogue" book. A quite heavy paperback, 368 pages.
No dates, but it has CDs 375.201 through 375.300 and Cosmos Special Select COS-1 through COS-25.

Italy:
Lastly, I have a "Vedette Records musiche per sonorizzazioni e programmi, catalogo generale". Paperback, 32 pages, 1967. It was mentioned at the end of the original post.

Superb! Thank you. Am just about to add the Themes catalogue detail...

Thanks for starting the ball rolling on this, Mr. Sorry again for not asking permission before stealing your work. If you'd like me to move your original images to my own hosting service just give the word.

I only have a couple of US things to add and absolutely nothing when it comes to the European labels, so that section is 100% you!

UPDATE:

I've just got back in touch with another collector I'd not spoken to for a while. He's just given me permission to share some photos. Thanks bab!

First off: a duplicate of Impress 1963 re-bound in comb binding.

Also, new images of Southern Long Play and Classical and Traditional Catalogue. Not the greatest photos, and there's a CD lying on top of them. But here's proof they exist!

I'm currently researching FDH/Mood Music, and stumbled upon this b/w advertisement in an October 1947(!) edition of "Kintematograph Weekly" depicting an early catalogue of theirs:


As far as I can tell, the cover reads:
Quote
MOOD MUSIC
HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING

Specially Transcribed for
RADIO - NEWSREEL - THEATRE - FILM - DRAMA - ETC

Played by
The NEW CENTURY CONCERT ORCHESTRA —

Produced by
THE FRANCIS, DAY & HUNTER ORGANISATION

UPDATE: The "King of the Jungle" of library catalogues added today - the giant red Chappell, here in two versions: 1969 and 1973/74.

Standard - 1978 catalogue + inserts added.

I think that might be it for the UK, will add the rest of the world later. Am I missing anything? Can anyone plug any gaps? :)
