In the listings, the middle column contains information about Anthologies and Collections. For Anthologies and Collections, it lists the source of the cuts. For others, it lists the Anthologies or Collections in which that cut appears.
The last column gives the source of the information (See Section 6).
For Section 4, Session Work, items are listed in alphabetical order bu artist. For the other sections, items are listed roughly by recording date if known, otherwise by release date or album number.

There are approximately 430 albums, tapes and videos containing original material.  The total number of original cuts on the 209 of them for which a cut list is available is about 1030.  Most of the 226 for which a cut list is not available are in Session Work.  Assuming a reasonable average of 2 cuts for each of these (the average of those with known cuts is 4) then Sam has played on at least 1500 original cuts.
