ESP Label listing - new and revised edition with covers!

copyright Dr.Michael Frohne
This is a compilation of the label listing of ESP Original issues as complete as possible. I added no information about personnel, dates etc. because you can find most background infos on the ESP webside. But there is no complete listing, so enjoy this one.

You have to check out the Fontana issues from the Netherlands, BASE Re-iussues from Italy, LP's released only on Base (never as ESP) as well as the latest issues on CD.

Many thanx for information given by Mr.Randall L.Sannes
