More Powerful Searching

HOW DOES IT WORK?

This is not a regular music blog, it's more like an information clearinghouse to help you express your MPS-Love.

Click HERE, to view complete discographical listings by MPS catalog number. In progress of course--not yet all discography lists are posted. Then click through on catalog number to the individual album listing. Even more in progress, not all MPS albums have entries here yet.

Or view LABELS at left to search by year, artist, or subgenre. Not all entries have art or links. That's where you come in. Leave links or descriptions or reviews in the comments.

Don't forget to thank ME, for helping you complete your MPS collection. Don't forget to thank the various BLOG OWNERS for sharing their hard work, and don't forget to thank the ARTISTS by actually buying CDs so they can be paid for their work.

Check out the Jazz Labels Listing Project for more discographical info on MPS than you could ever imagine.

Then CHECK BACK frequently for updates, additions, and improvements.

Please HELP fill in the blanks by adding comments or links to blogs, art, reviews, sales offerings, etc.

Magic Purple Sunshine/MPS-Love is not affiliated in any way with the actual MPS company or its license holders.

UPDATE: I will try to record various album contributions in the comments here. If you subscribe to the comments on this post you will be notified of many reader shares and contributions.

Most Promising Sound

Musikproduktion Schwarzwald ceased existence as an independent entity in the 1980s. It's now owned by the Universal label, and many of its albums and compilations have been reissued in Europe, the US, and Japan under various licensing arrangements.

Today Promising Music is reissuing albums from the MPS catalog in extremely well-conceived CD format. They've put out individual albums in really nice packaging and multi-CD anthlogies collecting many albums by a single artist.

Think how good your scratchy rips would sound and feel with actual CDs. Go ahead, spend some money.
