5.4 Discographies
The most accessible catalogues of available recorded music, and the ones which are often the most up-to-date and user-friendly, are the ones published by the record companies, Polygram, E.M.I. etc. These are distributed, from time to time, to all good record shops, and are usually made available for consultation on request. Published catalogues, because of the unpredictable nature of sales and distribution, have to be updated frequently to take account of newly-available recordings as well as those which are no longer on the market. The following list is a representative sample of the more usual published catalogues.
