Discographies of 50's and 60's record labels.

While we had hoped we could avoid this but it is apparent that is not the case.

There is nothing for sale on this website, please do not email if you are trying to buy a record.
Globaldogproductions has no contact information for artists.
Globaldogproductions is not a price guide, do not email about values of records.
Globaldogproductions does not promote artists or bands, especially current ones.
There won't be any discographies beyond 1980, don't bother asking.

While the bulk of the discographies on Global Dog are from the United States there enough from Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom that we have added index pages for just those countries besides including them in the main indexes of all labels. Just click on a flag to see that country's index.


Australia	Canada	United Kingdom

The Canadian discographies are from "50 Year Directory of Canadian 45 & 78 RPM Records 1940 to 1990" by Dave Whatmough. The directory is over 900 pages and still available by contacting Dave at d whatmough@cogeco.ca

Much of the United Kingdom discographies are based on the extensive research of Paul Pelletier and are available at Record Information Service .

Both Dave and Paul have done an incredible job in documenting the discographies for both Canada and the United Kingdom. Global Dog Productions requests that you support their efforts. Listen folks this website in nothing but a labor of love and for Dave and Paul it is the same thing. To be honest with you all, this website is starting to get too expensive. No I'm not going to start charging to use it but if some of you aren't willing to support Dave and Paul I may pull the plug sometime. And to be honest with you there is a lot of information they have you'll never see here.

This is an amazing website compiling all the various labels record companies used and the different stock sleeves they were issued in, it is highly recommended.

When RCA first introduced the 45 rpm record they issued them on different colors of vinyl to indicate the type of music the record was. While the color coding didn't catch on the 45's certainly did.

The first 45 record ever issued was Eddy Arnold on RCA 48-0001

Below are two sample entries, the first is a single where it is the same artist on both the A side and the B side, the second example is where there are different artists on the A side and B side. If there is a "horizontal line" then the A side and B side are different artists. If there is no horizontal line then it is the same artist for both sides.

101	Johnny Horton	Happy Millionaire Mean Mean Son Of A Gun	1951
102	Johnny Horton Bill Thompson's Westerners	Plaid And Calico Done Roving	1951
