Because of the fluctuating nature of the market, no attempt has been made to indicate the availability of any recording. Other anomalies exist: for example, three different versions of the twelve-inch single “Tell You (Today)” are in circulation, but inconsistent labeling makes them difficult to distinguish from one another. This discography is provisional, in part because so many of Russell’s recordings exist only on tape, and in part because the ongoing excavation of the archives means that old recordings will continue to be released after the publication of this book. The use of “Side 1”and “Side A” follows original usage.

In cases of multiple issues across format and country, CD numbering systems are used instead of vinyl numbering systems, while original publishing agreements are listed instead of licensing parties. Producers and remixers are referenced when their names were included on the original release, but details of musicians and engineers and song lengths have been omitted for consistency and brevity. Promotional copies and bootlegs are listed only when thee cord didn’teceive a commercial release, while Russell’s twelve-inch dance reissues and compilation appearances are too numerous to list here in their entirety. This is the first full discography of the published recordings on which Arthur Russellppeared as an original artist or as a member of a band or studio outfit, as well as releases where he made an appearance as an instrumentalist, mixer, or guest songwriter.
