Goody Records Discography


Accurate information on this French label is difficult to ascertain. This distinctively packaged limited series of albums was supervised by Jean Luc Young, one of the co-owners of the BYG/Actuel label, and Claude Delcloo, the French drummer appearing on many Actuel recordings, including one as a leader. Some reports have Goody as the BYG/Actuel discount label. It seems that it operated in similar fashion to America Records, i.e. acquiring masters illegally and pressing inferior copies without payment to the artists. The catalogue numbers are listed as GY 3000_ on the record backs and as GY 300_ on the record spines. It is unclear as to the reason.
GY 30001 - 30005 are all reissues, all but two from the Chicago Delmark label. GY 30006 seems to be the original issue, not available elsewhere. No other jazz releases seem to have been made after 1970. Two other series, Electric Blues — Chicago Style and Super Black Blues, also reissued illegally from Delmark, are listed at the end of this document.
