[78-L] Discographies

[Kristjan Saag]

The search for reliable information about the early Aznavour recordings 
has reminded me of how difficult it is to get access to good, 
professionally made national discographies.
Most of us know about what's offered about US and UK recordings, and 
also about jazz recordings in general, and I'm sure Dr Rainer E. Lotz 
has covered all of the German output in all genres during the 78 rpm era.
But the magnificent treasure of French recording, apart from hot jazz - 
is there anything printed about it that gets close to Rust's 
"Entertainment" discography? The net offers very sparse, and very 
unreliable listings.
I'd be interested to know more about this, not only from our French 
contributors, but also from our Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Canadian and 
other list members.
As for Scandinavia: The Swedish National Library has produced a pretty 
impressive catalogue of acoustic recordings, as well as catalogues over 
later 78 rpm recordings by the major record companies. None of them 
available online, though. On the other hand: the Swedish National 
Library has a good website service for all recordings they have, but, of 
course, they don't have everything that's issued.
