Delmark Records discography: 400/500 series This is a discography of 400/500 series of jazz albums released by Delmark from the late 1950's onward. This series is listed over two pages. This first page lists the 400 series albums. The first 40 or so of these albums were originally released as LPs. Many of these were later released on CD with the same catalog number and sometimes with bonus tracks and different cover designs or titles. Only the LP details are given on this page. A page for later CD releases may be added at a later date. Delmark was founded, as Delmar, in 1953 by Robert G Koester. The name change to Delmark coincided with relocation to Chicago in 1958. Many blues albums were also released by Delmark but these fall outside the scope of this site.
