Notes

Festival was one the major record companies in Australia. To get some sense of the scale of Festival you only need to look at the number of presses in operation. There were 26 of them producing about 900 records each day. That’s around 6.5 million discs per year.

More information on Festival is available at the Milesago site.

More information on Calendar is available at the Milesago site.

This is not currently a complete listing. It contains what is in my collection plus information from rear covers and only includes compilations that have Australian artists. Listing order is by MX number when known, the original xL (FL, EL, QL) prefix is used where possible and the R66 number is also listed when the record was reissued or issued on the Calendar imprint.

(Please note: Inside flip back and double record images will come as I get time to photograph them, and some the front covers will be redone. Enjoy.)

More images to come…
