1. Matrix Information: Matrix information is the letters and numbers etched into the vinyl near the label, in the runoff groove at the end of each side of a record.
   Matrix information may include:
   
   1. Catalog number.
      
   2. Lacquer number.
      
   3. Record pressing plant.
      
   The matrix information listed in this discography is not intended to be complete listings. This is known matrix information only.

2. obi strips: An obi is a paper band that is wrapped around the cover of a Japanese album to provide the consumer with information about the record in Japanese. Information on an obi may include the name of the artist, title of the album, type of music, song titles, price of the LP, and special release information (red vinyl, master sound, etc.). These bands, which are named after the sash worn with a Japanese kimono, are very collectible and add value to the accompanying album. Assorted releases are pictured with obi strips throughout this discography.
   Promos: Since the purpose of obi strips is to give purchasing information to the consumer, many promotional releases were not issued with an obi strip. All the early Odeon and Toshiba white label promo releases did not come with an obi strip. However, the later CBS / Sony promo releases had obi strips, as their promo LPs were just regular releases with promotional printing added to the labels.

3. Red vinyl: Nearly all original album releases on Odeon Records (including Relics) were released in very limited editions on red vinyl (it is generally accepted that only 500-600 copies of each of these albums were pressed on red vinyl). These dark red vinyl releases were pressings on Everclean vinyl, a higher quality of vinyl that was developed and patented by Toshiba Musical Industries in 1957. Everclean vinyl is much more static resistant and dust resistant than regular black vinyl. However, Everclean pressings wear out much faster than black vinyl pressings since the vinyl is softer, so record groove sound quality may be degraded even though the records still looks mint.
   At the time they were made, red vinyl pressings were not intended as collector items, and both red vinyl and black vinyl pressings were priced the same. The final Japanese red vinyl pressings were made in April 1974. Each entry in the discography for Odeon releases indicate whether a particular album pressing was released on red vinyl.
