List of sister labels: AURORA ETERNA LIED DER ZEIT LITERA NOVA SCHOLA HO-Echo The release year can usually be recognised from the last two figures of AG 511/1/xx on the cover. It's the legal print permission for the sleeve. Items with catalogue numbers like [x x0 xxx] are mono-releases, while catalogue numbers like [x x5 xxx] or [x x6 xxx] indicate stereo sound. This applies to all releases on Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin sub-labels, at least before 1991. The AMIGA JAZZ series belongs to the AMIGA label, as it is only mentioned on the cover and several records with cat.nos.smaller than 8 55 1xx (LP) are reissues with new artwork and were originally available before 1970.
