How The SYM Discography Works

This is to show you how the discography works. The table has all known versions of an item listed. If you know that another version exists please email me at discography@sonicyouthmusic.com with SYM Discography in the subject line. Below is an example.

Dates are written Month.Day.Year.

Pictures are after the notes. You can click on all the pictures to get bigger ones.

The songs are listed next. After each song is a number surrounded by []. This means the songs with [1] after them are on the Disappearer promo 12". Songs with a [2] after them are on the Disappearer promo CD. This shows that all five songs are on the Disappearer 12" [3] and the Disappearer CD5 [4].

Etchings are listed next. Etchings are right after the run off grooves on each side. Some records don't have etchings.

Last there is a notes section. This has any important information about each item. They also use the number inside of [] system.
