While working on a project of adapting the Anderson Discography into a database for ease of sorting & arranging at will, my research into the quad singles & EP's brought up an interesting point. The 7" EPs on Command (Joe Walsh, Steely Dan, etc) were manufactured by a company called Little Long Players ('LLP'), using masters created by Command/ABC. As a result, each release had two company names AND two catalog ID's. The cover sleeve lists the LLP catalog ID (starting with QD-) while the record label lists only Command and a catalog ID starting with PRO-, with no notation of the LLP number. (Example: the Joe Walsh EP has a Command label with the number PRO-40016. while the outer sleeve just says LLP QD-256.) This makes tracking down information a bit frustrating because people will note one ID or another but rarely both.

I'm new to the forum so I'm sorry if this is all old news. I'm going to post a complete list of the 7-inchers soon. I know there have been other forum postings of EP's, but I'm trying to make it as complete and detailed as possible (ID numbers and country of origin for every entry). Just thought I'd throw this out in the meantime.
 
That's pretty cool. I compiled a list a couple years ago into an Excel Spreadsheet of all the known Popular Q8's (I didn't include classical titles, but I may eventually do that) I had to add in a number of Q8's that weren't in the Anderson Discography.
 
Sounds cool. Maybe those of us who have these disc can provide the info and/or scans
 
Let me know if you run across anything new. I have not listed all that I know about and agree how confusing it can get on which catalog numbers to use. What I have listed I used the QD prefix numbers.
 
Let me start with these, and you'll see where I'm going with it. Here are some quad EP's for which I'm missing bits of information. You can see what's missing by the presence of question marks. Any fill-in-the-blanks that you can provide, please do. After I get the EP's out of the way, I'll make a similar post regarding singles.

Two points: this is NOT a list of all quad EP's by a long shot; these are just ones that are missing needed data. Also, as I stated in an earlier post, the EP's on ABC (Command, Project 3, etc) have different catalog ID's on the record label and the sleeve. The label ID's start with "PRO", while the ID's on the sleeve start with "QD". I'm trying to keep track of both. Thanks for any info you can provide.
