RSO Records / Discography
This is the discography of the British and American music label RSO Records . Only data from the sound carriers published in Germany or Europe are taken into account.
introduction
RSO Records was marketed in Germany by PolyGram through Polydor . The records were made in Hanover by Phonodisc, and from February 1978 by PRS. The label was integrated into the 7-digit order number system with the number range 2394 XXX for single LPs, 2658 XXX for double LPs or box sets, and 3216 XXX for music cassettes. Singles received the order numbers 2090 XXX . In 1983, PolyGram changed its numbering system so that the last releases of the label came to stores with order numbers 8XX XXX-X .
In 1974 Polydor introduced the number range 2479 XXX for records , which from 1976 was also used for RSO , both for new releases (by e.g. Eric Clapton), as well as for series, compilations or special-price editions. Including some albums produced for the RSO before the label was founded , which were released on Polydor between 1966 and 1972.
After the end of RSO Records, CDs with the RSO logo were released from 1984 onwards. In fact, however, these were Polydor publications. In 2008 the label with the red cow was reactivated for the re-release of three albums by Cream and Blind Faith. It can also be found on Japanese CD reissues in the so-called mini-LP format to this day.
Discography 1973–1983
For this discography, only the order numbers for long-playing records and singles that were published in Europe were taken into account. Numbers in italics were not published in Germany. Most of these albums were still available in Germany through the PolyGram import service (mostly from England). In an appendix there is also an overview of albums that were only released in the USA.
