Chronological Classics complete discography

Chronological Classics was a French compact disc reissue label. The original owner Gilles Pétard intended to release the complete master takes of all jazz and swing artists that were issued on 78 rpm records. By the time the label suspended operations in July 2008, its scope had extended into the LP era.

Pétard also started a parallel label, R&B Classics, whose releases follow on from the jazz listing, to reissue postwar rhythm & blues recordings. An unaffiliated label, Neatworks, released alternate takes and misidentified master takes of jazz artists previously issued on Chronological Classics. In 1999, Chronological Classics also issued a CD set that included tracks previously not available in the regular series, and a bonus cd with corrected tracks from previous releases.

The jazz series started with number 500, and so far includes the following albums:

500 - 599

600 - 699

700 - 799

800 - 899

900 - 999

1000 - 1099

1100 - 1199

1200 - 1299

1300 - 1399

1400 - 1499

The following numbers were slated for an August 2008 release but were never issued:

The R&B Classics series started out at No. 5000 with a total of 190 being released before the company closed.
