Wow, 6508 labels listed :thumbsup:
Right? Madness, weaponized.

Also, another page for German 78s, much of which is in both German and English: lotz-verlag.de

I'd be very careful with Henry König's http://www.musiktiteldb.de/
It's impressive in its size, but often uncritical in simply sweeping up data from other, already existing databases like http://www.78discography.com/discography.html which, as frequent users of our site know, are not always reliable.

The discographies at https://www.lotz-verlag.de/Online-Discographies.html are compiled from primary sources, but come with the warning that they are incomplete and/or only tentative draft versions.

Aah. Upon closer examination, you're correct indeed. Many listings come from Youtube videos and Discogs and other less than authoritative sources.

Please note that the Alan Kelly HMV database is now at https://www.gramophonecompanydiscography.com/

If you have bookmarked the original address (https://www.kellydatabase.org/Entry.aspx) this will not work as the secure certificate is no longer available. But if you change your bookmark to http://www.kellydatabase.org/Entry.aspx you will be transferred to the new site.

I've edited in some earlier posts that the British Library Sounds page that used to contain many record company catalogues has been removed. However some have been added at archive.org which also has some monthly and specialist supplements.

You will need to search for each label and select 'text' (example https://archive.org/search?query=His+Masters+Voice&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22 for HMV/GramoCo)

History of Canadian record companies; article by Robert Thérien about the early history of the Canadian recording industry, including a labelography of Canadian Berliner and early HMV discs. Removed from the original source, unfortunately.

Also, Robert Johannesson's site opera78.com has been offline for some time, but an intrepid archive.org user has uploaded all his files here:

https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Robert+Johannesson%22

An incredible resource for opera 78s that must have taken untold years to put together.

I know Mike Gann has already shared a link (pg. 5), but I figured this might be a little more convenient.

[Thanks, both now added. Glad both sites are now accessible again. Mod.]

And another: a German artist named Karen Stuke has put together a website with a vast amount of material relating to Caruso:

https://carusosingsagain.com/

Potentially quite useful is a page containing playback speeds for many of Caruso's records:

https://carusosingsagain.com/78rpm-records/

I've contacted the author to ask about her source for the speeds. The definitive resource is apparently Caruso on Records by Aida Favia-Artsay, whose results were reprinted by John R. Bolig in his Caruso Records.

Does anyone know if there's a Decca UK F series discography with release dates? If so, could I possibly have the link to it or some information on how to find it? Thanks!

The only one I'm aware of is the two volume Decca F listing by Michael Smith (available to buy here). I believe it has release dates, but it's rather pricey!

I'm currently working on getting accurate release dates for all the major UK labels for the period 1940-52, but haven't made much progress on Decca yet.
