THIS PAGE IS BEING BUILT STEP BY STEP.
LATEST UPDATE: 28JAN2011: all entries updated against WORD version.
WHAT IS THIS? Below, you will find DESCRIPTIONS for each LP release. Go to the LISTINGS section for overviews and to the PHOTOS section for illustrations of sleeves and labels. Please note that the descriptions below have not yet been matched with the illustrations in the photo section!
DATA: this section is based on my own colection plus data and evidence (e.g. photocopies) supplied by other collectors, mainly Luc Franken and Jimmy VInck (thanks, guys).
REFERENCES
NUMBERS refer to different releases, usually based on cat.nos. For instance: Beggars Banquet (1) and Beggars Banquet (2), refers to two different releases.
ROMAN NUMBERS & LETTERS that follow refer to variatons of the same release, like label and sleeve differences: letter types, colours, printer's notes, position on the label of particular data like "side 1"., etc. For instance: Got Live if You Want It (3) (I. II., ; a,b,c) means: the third release (3) with two variations of the sleeve (I.) (II.) and three of the label.
The number of COLLECTIBLE releases can be derived from these references.
