-
Contains citations of the first 100 records produced by New World Records including concert art music, marching band, bebop, film music, symphonies, theater songs, etc. It covers 200 years of American music. Half of the music citations include unique collections of archival material. Remaining records present music that had never before been recorded prior to 1981. Hundreds of experts along with an Editorial Committee annotated all the records.

The Master Index is a systematic description of each record arranged in numerical order according to the album number. Each entry includes the title, author of the liner notes, the artist and title of the cover art, minutes of each song and the titles of each recorded work in the album with its creator(s) and performer(s). Following the Master Index are four subsidiary indices: Record Material, Printed Material, Genres and Performing Media and a chronological index. Each refer the reader to the Master Index by record number, with sides and bands where appropriate.
-
Offers a list of songs never before recorded. Cites archival material.
-
Annotations do not critique actual recordings. Must know how to use subsidiary indices well in order to effectively use the Master Index. No composer or title indices.
