First saw this thread now - and wow, what a read! Brilliant detective work, as always!
Thanks for unearthing this obscurity. You'd think there were tons of these catalogues floating around considering that they are essentially
required for using the otherwise unmarked white-sleeved LPs of this label.
Whilst perhaps intended as a bit of a deterrent to keep these records out of the grubby hands of those pesky non-professionals, I can't help but imagine that more than once some editor may have ended up ultimately
not licensing these cues because they didn't have the catalogue on-hand.
And also, as a frequent non-professional, I mean - the mystery does also add a bit to the fun.
I don't have much to add on the details of the catalogue itself, but I find it peculiar that the rights are distributed between so many different sub-publishers. Even the licensed Vedette cues are split between several different ones! How odd.
Oh, and based on its tracklist, I think ERL 3362 contains the (otherwise unreleased
?) soundtrack to "
Helga und die Männer", the third in the trilogy of the apparently quite famous German "
Helga" films. The scores for all three of these were published by Selected Sound, I think.
