Symbols/Abbreviations

  * -- This title is available on CD
  # -- A best-of collection
  & -- A reissue or re-release
  + -- These groups do not associate themselves with the Christian music industry
       but have lyrics that often contain spiritual references, and have a lot of
       fans who are Christians.  Usually one or more members of these groups are
       professed Christians.  Usually these groups must be covered at some point
       in a Christian music publication (HM or CCM magazine) before they will be
       included in my discography.
  d -- demo
  I -- Instrumental album
  C -- Christmas album
  K -- Children's album
  L -- Live Album
 

Country Abbreviations (hopefully most are self-explanitory)

  <AUS> = Australia
  <BRA> = Brazil
  <CAN> = Canada
  <SWE> = Sweden
  <GBR> = Great Britain/United Kingdom
  <GER> = Germany
  <SIN> = Singapore
  <CZK> = Czech Republic
  <NLD> = The Netherlands
   etc.
 
 

Listing Format

-- All band names that include the full name of a key player will be listed under
   the mentioned artist's last name (ex: "Joe English Band" is listed under
   "English, Joe" and "Andre Crouch & The Disciples" is listed under
   "Crouch, Andre").
-- 2 artists recording together on an album will be given a separate listing.  For
   example, How The West Was One concert featuring 2nd Chapter Of Acts and Phil
   Keaggy will not be listed in both Phil Keaggy's and 2nd Chapter of Acts'
   individual discographies, but rather in a separate discography of 2nd Chapter
   and Phil Keaggy.  This listing will appear below the discography of the 1st
   artist who is listed on the actual album.  In the case of the above example,
   How The West Was One is listed under 2nd Chapter Of Acts / Phil Keaggy, instead
   of Phil Keaggy / 2nd Chapter Of Acts.
-- All special limited edition releases that were not available to the general
   public, but rather only to a select group of people via a fan club, concert
   distribution only, etc., will be listed on the "Collectors" page, not in the
   artist's main discography.
-- Reissues will be listed immediately after the original release. In situations
   where more than one album is reissued on the same CS, CD, or CD set, then the
   reissue will be listed after the earliest album being reissued.  Take note that
   this therefore means that just because an original LP or CS only release doesn't
   have a CD reissue listed below it, this may not be the case if it's on the tail
   end of a multi-album CD reissue.  There may be a few exceptions to this rule
   (ex. - I'd rather list the reissue of Swirling Eddies' Swirling Mellow / Meat
   The Farm Beetles releases in the main Swirling Eddies discography on "S" page
   instead of the "Collectors" page, which I should technically do since Swirling
   Mellow was released before Meat The Farm Beetles.)
