Classix Nouveaux, Rok-etz/Rockets & Sal Solo - Discography
Compiled
by Vladimir Kruglov
Copyright (2004)
Last update on 22/04/2007.
Main sources for this discography were:
- Classix Nouveaux discography on New Wave Complex (now sadly
defunct and removed)
- information from various on-line record stores: db5.gemm.com, eil.com, musicstack.com,
and so on
- Sal Solo official home page
- CD covers
This is the most full discography of said artists on the Web.
I tried to make it as comprehensive
as possible, though there still may be some gaps. I suggest you, if you have any information
that
may be useful for this list,
to share it with me. So if you have something to say, please write
to
me here:
80`s Discogs (fadingeuropeans@mail.ru)
Thanks so far go to Paulo Pereira for his great help on Portugese releases of the band and
for
providing the scans of CD artwork, as well as for his links and constant support.
