DBM listings part 1
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2014 1:17 am
We are currently indexing DBM titles according to series: listing, e.g., 'Africa
Calling' [Debora DA032], with the alternative title 'Debora 32 - Africa Calling'.
This will eventually enable users to search an entire series using only one page
[in this case, obviously: D] of the 'Films' listing. This will be analogous to the
ongoing work in additionally listing Private series [Black Label, Gold etc.] by
volume-number.
As usage by DBM is sometimes inconsistent I've opened this thread to add notes
where exceptions or different conventions have been adopted - this will hopefully
be easier for all than listing exceptions under individual films' entries. It was
felt that this information would be better placed here than say, in the general
egafd pages or in the FAQs.
This will be a running thread, with comments added as/when appropriate; enquirers
can be referred to this thread, and if the answer is not already there then a query
can easily be placed.
Please bear with us while this work goes on; there are a lot of additions to be
made and it's not the only task on the table, so it may be a year or more before the
listings become remotely comprehensive.
1) DBM Tiger [so far only listed up to number 40, as many subsequent volumes
are comps. or have exclusively non-Euro material]: DTG501/504/514/517 [i.e.
Tiger 1/4/14/17] are not listed as no titles appear to have been issued by DBM
with these serial-numbers.
2) DBM Sextra: volumes up to 18 inclusive have the 'Sextra' spelled with a
double 'x' [i.e. 'Sexxtra'], but all volumes have SE32xx serial-numbers. For
ease of reference, each volume's respective series-title has been listed under
'Sextra'.
