Polydor Records

Multinational record label established in 1913, acquired by the Universal Music Group in December 1998 as part of the acquisition of the Polygram group, effective January 1999.

Label Code: LC 0309 / LC 00309.

Please note: PolyGram seven-numeral catalogue numbers were introduced in April, 1970 - any previous release with such a number is a reissue from after that date.
This catalogue numbering system was replaced with a new system initiated in August 1982 and tied to the barcode/EAN. It had six digits followed by a single number suffix denoting the format, usually xxxxxx-x. In the US, when it was introduced in February 1983, this was often prefixed by a three-digit code denoting a company division, i.e. xxx xxxxxx-x, and sometimes a further one-letter suffix (for example 422 822104-1Y). These new numbers were not seen outside Japan until early 1983 when compact discs were first released to the public outside that country.
Rim text on labels of German LPs "Urheber- Und ..." was replaced by "Alle Urheber- Und ..." late 1976 / early 1977.

Words such as Deluxe, Super, Special and Select are not part of the catalogue number - these are price codes and can be entered as identifiers.
