Synopsis

Between 1943 and 1973, some of the best known artists in country and western, gospel, blues and rhythm and blues recorded on the King labels. Among them were Grandpa Jones, Freddie King, James Brown, Eddie Davis and the Spirit of Memphis Quartet. This book is a discographical listing, in two volumes, of all recordings made or issued by King Records and its subsidiary labels. Part 1 (comprising volume 1), a listing of session using original King masters, uses the master numerical sequence. Material covering all sessions made for the De Luxe, Federal and Bethlehem labels is found in Part 2. Part 3 lists all other sessions distributed by King on various small U.S. labels and on the King International Series for material leased from European recording companies. In these three parts, all sessions are listed with available details on personnel and recording dates, as well as with the master and issue numbers. Part 4 lists single series used - each issue is listed with references to the pages where detailed information can be found. Part 5 lists album series; for each album, the numbers in brackets refer to the pages where sessions are described. Parts 4 and 5 also include comprehensive lists of foreign issues, primarily European and Japanese. A table of equivalent foreign albums is found in Part 5. The artist indiex, Part 6, includes all artists appearing in the session listings and directs the researcher to the appropriate pages.
