Missing!

ECM Records has produced nearly a thousand titles since 1970 and dozens have never been released on compact disc.

The official ECM Records web site has detailed information about most of the currently available titles. These pages supplement the official site and supply information about the ECM titles that do not appear there.

ECM titles fall into three categories:

  • Generally available. Most titles are in print from either Universal, BMG, or PolyGram.
  • Exclusively from Munich. Some titles are only available from ECM in Munich. Some of these are only on LP. The ECM Records web site has a list of these titles.
  • Not available. See below.

The note: CD released by PolyGram appears when a PolyGram version of the title exists but there is no listing on the ECM Records web site. ECM is distributed by PolyGram in Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Japan.
