Umm Kulthum discography draft


Umm Kulthum
on Sonodisc CD's & LP's


If there is more than one track on an LP or CD each tracktime is given after the trackname, If only one of the tracks from a CD is issued on the LP it is indicated after the trackname, sometimes there is also crossreferences to alternate recordings of the same title. I have not always been able to compare the LP with the CD but in general there is more editing on the LP's, i.e shorter instrumental introductions, edited applause and so on. There are even a few cases were an entirely other recording session has replaced the LP version on the CD. Sometimes it is of some aid to compare times but due to the editing practise it is an uncertain one.
