Tips for this reference type

• See Manual 14.163.
• Album titles are italicised. Individual track titles should be included in quotation marks.
• If the performer or conductor (or similar) is more relevant than the composer, they may be listed first.
• Include any information about the work that is relevant, including performers, conductors, performance dates, medium and publisher details. See Manual 14.163 for more examples.
• For the date, include the date of the recording, the copyright date or published date included with the recording. If a date cannot be found consult a library catalogue or other resource; citations without a date are generally unacceptable. If no date can be found, use “n.d.” (for no date).
• Sound recordings should be grouped under an appropriate subheading in the bibliography, or separate to the Bibliography as a Discography. See Manual 14.163 and 13.67.
