POLYDOR Discography

This discography only covers the 1970s, and it is full of holes.  Some of these holes can be accounted for by the fact that singles with those numbers were released overseas and not in Britain.  Indeed, it is possible that a few of the singles listed below may only have been issued abroad - trying to put this discography together has been a mind-numbing job, and I may have let some foreigners slip through the net; so, be warned.  Polydor entered the '70s with its catalogue numbers in a 56000 series; this was superseded by various 2000-000 series, of which 2058-000 (later 2059-000 and then POSP-0) was the main one.  Presumably the first four numbers indicated different sources - for example, it seems possible that the 2058s were home-grown, as it were, and the 2001s and 2066s were licensed product.  For the sake of easy reference I have grouped the records together by prefix instead of listing them in order of date of issue.
