The following checklist — which lists all verified
Murray records appearing on labels produced by the International Record
Company — is presented as an aid to collectors attempting to complete
their Murray collections, and also in the hopes that collectors can fill
in any missing numbers. This list is in the public domain and may be freely
reproduced and distributed without permission.
We have full discographic data for the records listed here,
which will be published in full in an upcoming work from Mainspring Press
— but we would appreciate an e-mail from
anyone who owns verifiable Murray items on these or other IRC labels that
are not listed here. (Please do not send data from hobbyist Murray websites,
which are copied from denigrated secondary sources to varying degrees,
and thus contain errors).
Our thanks to the many thoughtful contributors
to Mainspring Online Discography Project, who have already added so much
information to this checklist!
