Welcome to the I.R.S. Records A&M Era Discography!
This discography is divided into five categories: LPs, EPs, Singles, Promos
and Miscellaneous. In I.R.S.'s A&M era, a fairly logical numbering system was
utilized. All albums and 12" (&10") EPs are in the "70000 series." This series
itself was logically subdivided. Singles are in the 9000 series. There are a few other
miscellaneous series. Details about each of these series (and their subdivisions) are
at the top of each section.

I.R.S. LPs
The A&M era I.R.S. LPs fell into four series. The [70]000 series for regular
albums; The 70600 series for midline and developing artists; the 70800 series for
double LPs; and the 75000 series for midline back-catalog reissues. Please note
that the first nine albums did not have the leading "70" but were simply three
digits (hence the brackets, though some A&M catalogs added the "70").
A few notes about some of the releases: A&M used a "6" in their developing
artist's SP#s. When (and if) an album sold well enough, the "6" was deleted.
To allow I.R.S. to have the same capability, starting with Let's Active's "Cypress"
(SP70648), the 70000 and 70600 series were combined. Alas, this was also the last
time this happened as I.R.S. made the move to MCA soon after. Also you'll notice two
entries for SP70014, 70601 and 70606. Details on these can be found in their respective
reviews.

I.R.S. EPs
The A&M era I.R.S. EPs fell into two series. The 70400 series and the 70500 series.
The only significant difference was price: $4.98 for 70400 and $5.98 for 70500. Please note that the
first EP (The Cramps' "Gravest Hits") did not have the leading "70" but simply three digits
(501, though listed as 70501 in A&M's catalogs).
A few notes about some of the releases: The 70400 series primarily became a 12"
singles series, each having unique covers (the few exceptions bearing a generic I.R.S. sleeve).
The 7700 series was shortlived. These 7" 33rpm wonders were marketed as "mini-albums."

I.R.S. Singles
The A&M era I.R.S. singles were in three series. The 9000 series for regular singles;
The 9500 series for 3-song singles and, after the 9000 series was dropped in June 1981,
regular singles were given the 9900 series. Classic I.R.S. singles from the A&M era were
numbered into A&M's Forget-Me-Not and Memories series as the I.R.S. Amnesia
Series and are listed in the Miscellaneous section below.
Virtually every single came with a picture sleeve. Those without are indicated in the
"other info" column. Late in the 9900 series I.R.S. generated generic sleeves specific to
artists on the roster. These will be indicated as "artist's name sleeve" in the
"other info column."

Miscellaneous I.R.S. Items
This section of the I.R.S. Records Discography contains items that don't fit in any
of the above series such as picture discs, video cassettes, cassette singles, merchandise
and records affiliated with I.R.S..
A few notes on the items below: I.R.S. Amnesia Series was part of A&M's
Forget-Me-Not and Memories series. The Picture Discs, Video Cassette
and Cassette Singles are self-explanatory. In the late 80's the music industry tried
marketing 3" CDs or "CD3s." A&M tried and included a few I.R.S. artists in the bunch,
which are listed below. The I.R.S.-Related A&M Releases refers to A&M LPs by
artists "lured away" from I.R.S. by the parent company. This portion of the list is by no means
complete and contains only LPs -- not singles, which (in most cases) also carried the I.R.S. logo
along with the A&M logo.
