Dbx encoded discs


Is anyone familiar with dbx encoded discs? I have a single recording (Pictures at An Exhibition/Nigh on Bald Mountain), but there were other recordings made. I have not found a catalog though.

Jcipale.

I thought there were quite a number of dbx discs for sale at Discogs?
At some pretty high prices though!
like $100 for Supertramp and $55 for Heart.
I usually only listen to rock so have not much fun idea on the classical side.

Actually never been to Glasgow or Edinburgh.
I lived in the midlands, Nottingham, Derby area.
Great story and a real shame the industry killed it in yet another format war where money won and not the best application.
Hey Benjie.
Nice collection.
And yes I found Discogs to be invaluable as to what records were offered in dbx format.
What are you using to decode?
I just discovered I have approximately 9 dbx encoded Cassette tapes.

We are all getting there in these forums I suspect.
I vaguely remember dbx records for sale back in England but pretty sure I never heard one played.
According to Discogs they have 235 entries for dbx encoded material.
Including Supertramp, Cat Stevens, Heart, Moody Blues, J.Geils Band (lol!).
Fancy that.

So it looks like Discogs might be best resource for both pricing and as a catalogue.
Pretty sure we are talking about Dbx  encoded vinyl records here not cd.
Even though the terminology of disc might be misleading.
At least that was my take on it.
