Ruppli, Michel, comp. The Savoy Label: A Discography. Discographies, No. 2, ed. by Brian Rust. Westport, Connecticut; London: Greenwood Press, 1980.
-
A listing of all recordings made by Savoy Records. Good for those interested in the history of Savoy.
-
All recordings made or issued by Savoy Records are listed. Includes historical details about jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel recording sessions. Classical entries are not detailed, but are included in the discography. Information is based on the Savoy files, which are inaccurate and incomplete. The time covered is from 1939 to 1975.
-
This discography is in a series with two others, each of which cover a specific recording label. This one is organized into four large parts: Savoy Sessions, which is broken down into specific locations and years of the sessions; Leased or Purchased Sessions, which lists sessions purchased or leased by other labels but issued by Savoy; Single Numerical Listings, which are listed first according to label, then numerically; and Album Numerical Listings, which are also listed in order of label, then number. There is an index of artists and a table of European releases at the end of the book.
-
The information is very detailed and organized, and offers several different options of finding a recording.
-
Changing the typography would make reading the information easier.
