Disc-o-logue: Catalogue of French-language popular music available in Canada and published between 1962 and 1979. Includes information from the archives of Louise Lamothe, creator of Disc-O-Logue.
Disc-O-Logue was a music publication created by Louise Lamothe that lists French-language songs from Canada, France and other parts of the French-speaking world, which were available in Canada on LPs and 45-rpm discs from 1962 to 1979. Madame Lamothe saw the need for a French-language music catalogue not only for her own record store, but for other stores, companies and customers as well. Because of her professional interest in copyright and copyright agencies, Louise Lamothe also used Disc-O-Logue to document the copyrights applicable to each song. Disc-O-Logue proved to be an invaluable reference source used by music companies, record store owners and customers alike to locate performers, labels or titles of various songs on recordings.
The Disc-O-Logue Archive was acquired by the National Library of Canada from Madame Lamothe in 1986 to complement the Library's holdings of Canadian music and sound recordings. The Archive consists of copies of the Disc-O-Logue publication, the master card catalogue, and the record release information. In addition, the National Library has also been given copies of Disc-O-Logue Best Sellers lists which were also produced by Madame Lamothe ...
The UMRK Info Center - Technical info on Frank Zappa's Studio & techniques.
This site has been in my head for about a year now. I thought i'd try it out for real on the web where we could batch together lot's of information about Frank Zappa's work in the studio. There's plenty of sites out there covering the many aspects of this great man but not really anything that deals strictly with his techniques in the studio.
Like many, I have been very impressed by Zappa's recording techniques. From the genius tape edits of his early career to the remastering of his entire catalog in later life, Zappa never seizes to amazing me with his attention to detail.
So, the plan is to use this site as a resource and library of information that might help us folks learn a bit more about where Frank Zappa was at.
This site also intends to be a shrine to his studio the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, detailing the equipment used there and hopefully giving us more of an insight to this special place.
