Record Information Services

Many people would be pleased to me, but firstly to John Stuart, as the man in charge for the distribution and sale of Paul Pelletier's Record Information Services catalogues. All are edited by same Paul and, undoubtly, they are invaluable to any serious record collector. The whole series has expanded over the years covering an amazing amount of UK labels. Each volume gives a brief label history and details of every release including withdrawn items, giving issue numbers + A & B sides and date of the issue.

Standard range cost 4,75 Sterling Pounds each. These titles come in two formats (A5 sized and in printed booklet, the most of the issues; A4 sized, the second format, is laser printed with ring bound). A new title, comprising British Bell Records label (from BLL 1000 to 1200 series) is also available.

Premium range is formed by two A5-sized printed booklets with laminated cover and costs 6.00 Sterling Pounds each. Both booklets are exclusively dedicated to Capitol (see image insert) and Decca catalogues.

Finally, another Premium Range in A4 format and 10.00 Pounds each, in solid print with laminated cover, contains a two-volume British Directory of Popular 78/45 rpm singles catalogue between 1950 and 1980
