Tempo records first appeared in Setpenber 1946 and issued both new Jazz recordings and also vintage transfers. The new recordings had a A- prefixed catalogue and the reissues an R- catalogue (both series starting logically at 1). They were distributed by the Tempo Record Society of 9, Piccadilly Arcade, London and available from specialist dealers and jazz clubs. The initial issue of A-1 to A-44 cost 9/6, but subsequent issues in both series were 7/6.

 


Vogue styled label

Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.

There are no gaps in the R-series now, thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt's help - just a few control numbers !
The A-listing is now complete as far as titles & artists go. This is due to a lot of information sent to me by Richard Prout & Jerry King. Some numbers and dates still to fill in yet.
Thanks to the following who have also helped with this listing: Mike Jones, Adam Miller, Alan Sharp.

Firstly, the A-prefixed series of contemporary recordings. These were first issued in September 1946 and continued until October 1952. In April 1955, Vogue (a Decca subsidiary) took over the name and continued the series.
