The Vanilla Fudge
multiaxial discography is composed of 4 peripheral axes: LP's,
Singles, CD's, and Miscellaneous around a central or master axis
called the Vanilla Fudge Song Catalog. The core of the whole system
is the song catalog where we have attached Real Audio clips, times,
and links to the various musical mediums those songs were recorded,
performed and promoted or marketed by Vanilla Fudge and their several
record and promotional companies.
The four
peripheral axes list each known item from every medium and market we
are presently aware of. Each item is identified by an 8 digit ID
number which is thus explained:
From left to
right: the first digit refers to one of the four peripheral axes or mediums:
-
1 = LP's
- 2 = Singles
- 3. = CD's
- 4 =
Miscellaneous or Other, including Cassettes, Reel to Reels, 8 Tracks,
Video's, Radio Shows, commercials etc.
The second digit
identifies the continent in which the item was marketed.
-
1 = North America
- 2 = Europe
- 3 = Asia
- 4 = South America
- 5 = Australia
- 6 = Africa
The next 3 digits
are the phone companies "country codes" for whatever
country the item was marketed in (see a phone book for key).
In our list the
USA and Canada have a 000 calling code which they share.
The remaining 3
far right digits are the axial number of the item. All items are
numbered consecutively in each of the 4 axes starting with the number
001 in each axis.
This system allows
cross indexing and sorting across the entire spectrum of every audio
visual product within the Vanilla Fudge's 31 year history and beyond.
Information can be sorted by medium, continent, nation or by the
songs themselves. We hope to add future hyper links between each song
and the many mediums Vanilla Fudge has either recorded, performed or
discussed each song throughout their long career. It also allows us
to keep our Real Audio files at the center of our multiaxial system
for the convenience of the Vanilla Fudge's fans and serious
researches alike.
We realize that
despite our best efforts this attempt to record, store and present
all the material Vanilla Fudge have recorded and released throughout
31 years is far from complete. If you have any records, tapes,
videos, CD's, radio shows etc which we have not listed here, please
inform us of them. We would prefer to receive the date, nation, label
and catalog number of every item in your Vanilla Fudge collection
which we can add here. We hope that this list shall never be
completed as these recordings continue to be reissued as new mediums
and generations follow after us.
We do hope,
however, that someday we will achieve a currently complete list on
which future generations can confidently record their own
generation's and technology's reissuance of this wonderful recorded
body of work simply called, Vanilla Fudge. Peace.
