Genre oriented resources
Jazz
- Scott Yanow label page: useful for a quick heads-up about some labels
- Michael Fitzgerald label page: has a *lot* of catalogs (although not really detailed)
- The jazz discography project has not a lot of labels catalogs, but when they have one, it's good!
MusicBrainz Metadata
There have been in the past preliminary attempts at consolidating data about labels prior to the introduction of labels into the database. Most of their content should be migrated into the database now. They are to be found here:
- CatalogCode providing some catalog schemes
- Jazz/Labels providing information/links/catalogs for a number of jazz oriented labels
