About
This is a session-oriented catalog of all recordings made or released by King Records of Cincinnati, Ohio, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
- The baseline facts are drawn from "The King Labels" by Michel Ruppli (published by Greenwood Press in 1985).
- Some LP track sequence details (track ordering) are drawn from the "Both Sides Now" King discography.
- Delmore Brothers session details are drawn from Alain Nicolas' Delmore Brothers web site.
- Additional session and issue details are drawn from CD-era reissue liner notes.
- Citations are included (on the 'session' pages) wherever these other sources supersede Ruppli's facts.
- Biographical summaries are provided by Wikipedia.
- All images are scans of my personal collection.
