A guide for identifying recordings made on Berliner Gramophone discs. Provides researchers and collectors with information on popular music and artists at the time of recording.

Discs organized according to two numbering systems: block numbers, from 1892 to March 1899, and the 0 series, from March 1899 to spring 1900. Block numbers refer to title and performance types, resulting in some duplication of numbers. Discs in the 0 series are numbered consecutively and organized numerically by disc number within each category. Information listed includes disc number, title, composer, recording date and location, artist, performance type, language, if not English, source codes, and take number, if applicable. Following is a section of LP's and CD's on which Berliner Gramophone recordings may be found. Lists addresses of these sources.Also contains acknowledgments, introduction, physical description and representative photographs of the discs, user's guide, resources for further study, and three indexes. First index organized alphabetically by title, second index organized alphabetically by artist's last name, and third index organized chronologically by recording date.
