Preface This set is a discographical listing of all recordings made or issued by the Mercury label and its subsidiaries (Blue Rock, Cumberland, Emarcy, Fontana, Limelight, Philips, Smash and Wing labels), including leased and purchased material (from labels such as Keynote, Majestic, and National) and recordings by independent labels distributed by Mercury. Most of this set is devoted to recording sessions, and lists available details on personnel and recording dates, as well as master numbers and issue numbers. Known foreign issues have also been included when they are not straight reissues of original Mercury records. Since many recording dates can not be ascertained, it was impossible to use a true chronological order. In that case, the session listing was made using the numerical sequence of master numbers assigned by Mercury. Further, many dates mentioned in Mercury/Polygram files were actually mastering dates and not true recording dates. Thus, many dates have been listed with a (?). It is believed that dates without that mark are correct, although many could still be questionable. Use of the numerical sequence of master numbers led to spread sessions made in one place; this was the case with Nashville sessions, which used erratic blocks of two hundred numbers during the years 1969-1978. Volume I details all recordings made between 1945 and 1956; the volume lists sessions from master number 101 through master number 14001. Additional sections cover material recorded in that era on the Wing label and on labels which were leased or purchased by Mercury: Exclusive, Keynote, Elite/Hit/Majestic and National. Exclusive, Keynote and National listings have been restricted to material used by Mercury (a complete National listing appeared in another work—The Savoy Labels—oi the Discography Series). Although not fully used by Mercury, the Elite/Hit/Majestic series of recordings have been listed entirely, thanks to preliminary listings (Elite/Hit by George Blacker and Majestic by Bob Porter) published in Record Research magazine. Volume II lists Mercury recordings which used the master numbers 14002 through 30999, during the years 1956-1964. It also lists the short-lived Look master series used for some 1957 sessions. The period includes material issued by Mercury, after Mercury was purchased by the Dutch Philips group. Volume III is devoted to the years 1964-1969 and includes sessions using the master numbers 31000 through 46000. Volume IV includes sessions recorded between 1969 and 1981 (master numbers

Preface

46001 through 57036). Additional sections describe jazz sessions issued through 1991, with special pages on leased material issued on the revived Limelight label. A large part of volume IV is devoted to the Classical series made by Mercury: the first section lists leased material issued by Mercury, then the bulk of the Classical part is made of the famed Living Presence Series. A final section lists leased material issued later on, most of which came from Philips recordings. The volume also includes a composer index related to all classical sessions. Each volume ends with an artist index, which includes all of the names appearing in the session listings of the volume. Page numbers are listed in parentheses when artists appear as sidemen only. During the period 1955-1963, Mercury used different master series numbers for monophonic and stereophonic records using recordings made in stereo, with the different series using prefixes: JB for jazz sessions, PB for popular sessions, PBE for monaural recordings reprocessed for stereo and PS for popular full stereo. Starting with master number 29000, a different system was used in order to differentiate mono and stereo records. Although presumably all recordings were made in stereo, titles issued in mono were allocated a master number with prefix 1-, while stereo issues used a prefix 2-. (Subsequently multitrack recordings used prefixes 3- and 4- as well.) Single records generally used mono, while LPs were issued in both mono (MG series) and stereo (SR series) formats. In volumes II to IV, titles issued on LPs have been listed with prefix 2-, although listed singles made of titles from the LP sessions actually used the 1- master. Volume V is made of numerical tables and record listings. The first part lists tables showing the equivalence between stereo (JB, PB, PBE, PS series) and mono (numerical) master numbers. Subsequent parts of the volume list all records issued on Mercury and subsidiary labels in various formats: 78 rpm and 45 rpm singles, 45 rpm Extended Plays, 10-in. Long Play 33 rpm albums, 12-in. albums and compact discs. All records are mentioned briefly with artists' names and numbers showing volume(s) (I to V) and page(s) where titles included are detailed in session listings. Album and CD listings also show album/CD title. All singles and album parts include comprehensive lists of foreign issues (European, Australian and Japanese), although it has not been possible to trace and document all reissue series and compilation albums made by Philips, and later by Polygram, in various countries throughout the world. An additional CD section details recent CD issues which were discovered too late to be mentioned in the session listings. The volume concludes with a general artist index, which includes all names appearing in volumes I to V with relevant volume and page numbers. Although all efforts have been made to make this book as complete as possible, complete company session files no longer exist. As a result, there are many areas which would benefit from more complete information; any effort in this regard would be welcomed by the authors.

Acknowledgments This set was written in close collaboration with Ed Novitsky, who assisted me during the past four years by researching all available material in the Polygram/ Mercury files, making contacts with all U.S. Polygram people who could help to trace information and checking all my drafts for additions and corrections. My deepest thanks go to him for the time he spent on this work and the essential help he brought to me. A special acknowledgment should be given to Polygram Records, Inc., for their cooperation and assistance in allowing Ed Novitsky to do extensive discographical research in their archive library, which helped to make these volumes as complete as possible. I am also greatly indebted to Kurt Mohr and Alain Tomas, who provided the Mercury catalog listings which were the initial basis of my work, and to all Polygram people who allowed Ed and me to get all the useful information available in both the United States and Europe: Coleman Brice, Kathleen Brown, Pattie Chirico, Eddy Determeyer, Fernando Dos Santos, Dennis Drake, Sherry Eckstein, Benjamin Chapp Forgash, Ed Iannone, Bill Levenson, Chris Lougrin, Jim Nevius, Andrew Nicholas, Joseph Palmaccio, Mr. Pannen, Regena Ratcliffe, Daniel Richard, Tom Ruff, Phil Schaap, Cees Schrama, Mrs. Bob Shad, Marcel Shopman, Piet Stolk, Daniel Triana, Marjan Vijver and Harry Weinger. A special mention goes to Mrs. Wilma Cozart Fine, who supervised the Mercury "Living Presence" Classical recording sessions and provided full session details for that section, and to Ferdie Gonzalez, who supplied essential information from past research in Mercury files. Also of great assistance were Mary Katherine Alden, Kiyoshi Koyama, Al Turner and Richard Weize, all of whom provided essential details or files, and greatly improved the completeness of the work. Helpful details also came from Bill Bennett, Chris Bentley, Albert Bouyat, Denis Brown, Bill Daniels, J. Taylor Doggett, Charles Garrod, Cedric Hayes, Karl Emil Knudsen, Jacques Lubin, Jean-Guy Meunier, Tony Middleton, Gilles Petard, Bob Pinson, Bob Porter, Francois Postif, Dave Samuelson, Dave Sax, Bob Shad, Herb Wolf son, and La Phonotheque Nationale in Paris. Thanks to all of them and to all other friends who sent additional information. I made large use of the following publications: Mercury Catalog Listing (1975 edition) by Robin McBride; Mercury Catalog Listing (1979 edition) by Tom Pile; Blues Records Vol. 1 by Neil Slaven and Mike Ledbitter; Disco-File by Ferdie

Introduction Mercury Records, created in 1945 by Berle Adams and Irving Green as a division of Mercury Radio and Television Corporation with Art Talmadge as promotion manager, rapidly developed activity in several directions: popular (including jazz and blues artists), classical and country. In its early years, Mercury distributed jazz recordings made by Norman Granz (described in another volume, The Clef/Verve Labels, of the Discography Series), and classical recordings. In 1948, Mercury purchased the Elite/Hit/Majestic labels, issued a part of those in the popular series and finally sold that material to Wright Record Corporation in July 1949. In 1954, Emarcy (meaning Mercury Record Corporation) was created as a jazz subsidiary with a roster of jazz artists including such great names as Clifford Brown, Sarah Vaughan, Cannonball Adderley, Gerry Mulligan, Dinah Washington (who had been recording for Mercury as early as 1947), and other West Coast artists. The Emarcy catalogue was at that time the work of producer Bob Shad. He later worked on popular sessions when he was replaced at Emarcy by Jack Tracy in 1958. At the same time, Mercury reissued many sessions from the National label on the Emarcy label, and also purchased the Keynote label from Harry Lim. In 1955, another new subsidiary, the Wing label, aimed at popular music and rhythm and blues, including some sessions transferred from Mercury, but it was closed down after one year. Later on, Wing was reactivated as a budget label for reissues (both popular and classical) from the Mercury catalogue. Smash, a more successful subsidiary label devoted to pop music, operated from 1961 to 1969. Purchase of Mercury by European Philips in 1961 brought to the Mercury labels many Philips artists from all over the world, and led to the creation of the U.S. Philips and Fontana labels. These were produced by Mercury, along with other subsidiaries such as Limelight, which concentrated on jazz sessions, and later on electronic music, Blue Rock, which was solely for rock artists and Cumberland, which was devoted to country and folk music. The Mercury label and its subsidiaries recorded great popular artists, including Frankie Laine, Patti Page, and Vic Damone, and vocal groups such as The Platters, The Penguins, The Ravens, The Diamonds, The Crew Cuts, and The Four Seasons. Jazz stars such as Clifford Brown, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, Roland Kirk, Gerry Mulligan, Louis Jordan, and Quincy Jones are on Mer-

Introduction

cury labels, as are singers Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Helen Merrill. Big names in rhythm and blues include James Brown, Little Richard, Clyde McPhatter, and Brook Benton, and major country artists such as George Jones, Rusty Draper, Dave Dudley, Faron Young, and Tom T. Hall have recorded on Mercury. Rockabilly singer Jerry Lee Lewis, dance musicians Xavier Cugat, Ralph Marterie, and the Paul Mauriat Orchestra, and mood musicians David Carroll, Richard Hay man, and the Herman Clebanoff Orchestra all are Mercury artists. Many successful jazz and dance sessions were produced by Bob Shad and Jack Tracy, by arrangers Quincy Jones and Pete Rugolo, and by band leaders Hal Mooney and David Carroll. Many country sessions were made in Nashville by Jerry Kennedy and Shelby Singleton. Another important chapter of the Mercury history was Classical music. After producing German and Czech sessions leased from Telefunken, Mercury in 1951 started its own recordings, which were known as the Living Presence Series, based on sophisticated recording techniques developed by sound engineer Robert Fine. Sessions were supervised and produced by Wilma Cozart, who later became Mrs. Fine.
