The late Hans Koert spent many years researching and collecting Durium records and documented it in his "blog" at http://hitoftheweek.blogspot.co.uk/ , but that webpage is no longer available. What I have done is to try to present the various Durium series in an easy to read format, but almost all the details are from Hans' indefatigable research.
I have listed the 10" series first, in alphabetical prefix sequence. Then following those are the smaller discs.
Please e-mail me if you have any additions or corrections to this page.
My thanks to the following for providing information: Robin Bratchley, John Culley, Norman Field, Robert Girling, Mike Jones, Hans Koert, Chris MacDonald, Tony Middleton, Barry Pliskin, Richard Prout, Steve Walker

Now I will list the later, small Durium records.
The first have an E-5000 series matrix.
Catalogue numbers, where used, have the same number but usually without the
prefix, so I will list this series by matrix number only.
These first ones
are all 4" diameter, and are mixture of styles and some were issued as "Durium
For The Young Folks" or "Durium Junior". The others mainly just have the title
of the recording without any actual label name.

The next series are called
The "Talkie" Cigarette Card. They are
just under 3"
square and were free with Record Cigarettes. The reverse of each record has an
image and a brief bigraphy of the personality printed on it, along with a
catalogue number printed in the lower right-hand corner. The records were
in their own transparent sleeves and were slipped into the cigarette packet.
There are 5 different known
series, each one stating that there are 25 in each series. If this is so, then
there are still a lot to find, but it is believed only about 36 out of a
projected 125 total records were ever issued. Again these are using a 5000-series matrix
number (but no E- prefix) which seems to continue from the one above, but it has
been reported to me that the matrix number is not visible on many of the
original records found.

This final batch of 5000- series are nearly all
advertising records. the size varies and will be shown against each issue, and
the matrix number sometimes has an E- prefix. Also, some issues have another
reference number, like a catalogue number. All this will be shown below, but the
listing is in matrix number order.
Note: Sizes are approximate; for instance
the 3" ones are usually between 3" and 3½".

Finally, the Sound Distributor Series. Like the
ones above, there are made in various sizes and some also have a reference
number. As before, though, these will be listed in matrix number order. The
matrix number is in an SD- series.
I do not know if the gaps in this listing
represent mini-Durium records which have not been reported, or not issued, or
whether Sound Distributors used the numbers for other purposes or for records
issued in other formats or on other labels.
