* -- 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

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.)
Sample Entry
