DISCOGRAPHY OF FRED FRITH This is the sixth version of the discography of Fred Frith. It includes many corrections and a few additions. Following items are: • discography, • records (co)produced by Fred Frith, • bootlegs, • records with samples of Frith's music, • Rift catalogue. Again, we would really appreciate any comments, corrections and extra infor- mations which could improve the quality of this discography. Specially, if people could send us information/correction on: • missing records and tapes, • wrong references (on dates, musicians, etc), • extra references (for vinyl, CD, or different pressings); for example, we are still looking for informations on the following records: • SKELETON CREW: Skeleton Crew (1982 - no label (CT)) • LIVE, WURZBURG, 10/82: Skeleton Crew (1984 - Recommended (SW), ???
