This site contains 'kollector reference kodes', the idea being that each release variant will be assigned a unique code, which can be used as a cross-reference by both collectors and sellers.

For example, saying 'I have a Canadian I Love You LP available to trade' isn't actually very helpful, because there are at least two variants of that release. Whilst 'I'm searching for a Canadian I Love You LP with "Produced by Mike Hunter" printed on the labels' is more meaningful, we remove any risk of uncertainty or misunderstanding simply by referring to it as ILY-CA2. The code allows us all to positively identify the precise release variant.

Any release that varies by one or all of country, sleeve design, label design or matrix is a unique variant, and so would be assigned a unique code. The codes will generally identify the title and country, then be sequentially numbered per variant. So the two Canadian I Love You releases are ILY-CA1 and ILY-CA2. If a third variant is found or identified in future then it would be assigned ILY-CA3. Simple! Note that once a release variant has been assigned a code, it will not be amended later. Codes therefore are not necessarily sequential in terms of release dates.

With the codes in place, we can all easily identify exactly what we have in our collection, what we're missing, what we want, and what we're selling. We can label our items and databases, quickly find duplicates, identify undocumented variants, and communicate easily and clearly with others.

Hopefully many or all Larry collectors will find benefit in this coding system and start using it. Myself and John B Wood, whose idea it was, will be using it going forward. (If you don't know who John is, then are you sure you're a Larry collector?!).

As the main purpose of this site is to identify all Larry songs and release variants, it is hoped that collectors who have or find an undocumented item will brag about it! To that end please use this contact form:

​Country codes:

AR - Argentina
AU - Australia
BR - Brazil
​CA - Canada
FR - France

GE - Germany
HK - Hong Kong (Hong Kong, Malaysia and South East Asia (S.E.A.)

JA - Japan
KO - Korea
ME - Mexico
​NE - Netherlands / Holland
​NI - Nicaragua

NZ - New Zealand
​SC - Scandinavia

SI - Singapore
​SP - Spain

SW - Sweden
TA - Taiwan
UK - United Kingdom
US - USA

    I have something you don't have bragging form

Picture

Another aspect of this tool for collectors is the provision of reference books. Hopefully everyone realises that most images on this site 'pop-up' when clicked on. These are uploaded at 1100x1100 resolution, but I believe the source code reduces them to 800x800. It can be somewhat difficult to make out small detail on an LP sleeve say at these resolutions, so the reference books provide larger, better resolution images - LP sleeves are mostly greater than 3500x3500 pixels for example.
