2004 REVISED VOLUME 5 - Newly revised, expanded and reprinted
$55.00 + $5.00 S&H ($25 outside the US)

In 2000, we introduced a brand new Volume 5 to the 4-Volume "DIRECTORY OF AMERICAN 45 R.P.M. RECORDS". It included 1,522 never before available label discographies, including many of the small independent labels. The response to the smaller labels was so terrific that we assembled the old research gang and started digging some more. The result was so not only thousands of additions to those labels, but the reconstruction of over 1,120 label discographies not included previously. Great doowop labels, soul labels, bluegrass labels, pop labels, gospel labels and rock labels. The New Revised Volume 5 has 536 pages with almost 2,700 label discographies, 2/3 of the 4,200+ label discographies in "The Directory". This revised Volume 5 is available separately, but is part of the 5-Volume set if you are a 1st-time buyer of "THE DIRECTORY".
