The Library Catalogue Thread

[apmnut]

Speaking of catalogs, if you check NateTheDoofy's Robert Hall thread, he's uploaded a couple inserts for their SFX records that would make for good adds to your master list!

I think a third Selected Sound catalogue may exist - a shorter, more rectangularly-shaped one appears alongside the "No. 2" catalogue in the photo of this archived ebay listing:

Thanks Mr and apmnut! Have added Robert Hall, will add the mini-Selected Sound cat very shortly.

Recently found a copy of a Selected Sound catalogue on this German site, if anyone fancies it:

Same site also has a Valentino one available:

Perhaps not entirely on-topic, but a Network promo kit is currently for sale on ebay:

Turns out this would have come with a demo disc too. I've found some photos of that and added to the main listing (there are also scans of the whole booklet on Discogs!)

I've also found some shots of the Network Sound Effects demo (again we already had shots of the accompanying booklet) and that section's been expanded too.

UPDATES:

BML Catalogue
Paxton 1950 (I absolutely love the assorted typfaces of the early Paxton catalogues and there are a couple more beauties here!)
Sound Ideas- assorted Sound Effects catalogues
Vedette - found another copy of the '67 catalogue and added an image of one of the listings
Vedette: Sound Effects - again c. 1967

Here's an interesting Major Sound Effects catalogue variant - it's the same year as WSBG's upload but distributed not by Thomas J. Valentino but the "Denison Music Company" (the discs have gone up 25 cents too!):

And I adore that back cover - original 1957 postmarks and an address for the "Tommy Scott Show" on Hollywood Boulevard! This one sold very quickly yesterday. Well done to whoever caught it.
