Edited 2 years agoI love discogs, love it before the revival of vinyl, forgot my original name, so made a new one What frustrating is I can't look for a particular artist within a label or filter by catalog number. While v discs are no different, seems unlike an artist search its easier to narrow down finding title. With V Discs and the variables i find particularly frustrating and I know the catalog number, title, etc. Anyone know a better way? And curious, better way to search. And if parent label is usa, is there another label area for the 16 inch transcription discs? Unless I'm mistaken? I do understand Vdisc was a sub label of USA military/government. But too, seems similarly of armed forces releases as the earliest are transcriptions and shows? Again I do love discogs, seem like a filter would be great or search instead of genre drop down, or am I looking the incorrect way for a label release without going thru page after page to get to page 300 where my title might be?

I took a quick glance at the 13 V-Discs that are in my collection... And just jotted down the catalog numbers. A couple of the numbers I have don't correspond with the discs listed.. and I'm just now realizing why. The Navy V-Discs had a different catalog number! Duh! Looks like I'll have to list the Navy discs I own....
