Tracks Missing: 16
One number was used twice! For completeness, some Sue LPs which were actually released with Island labels are included (perhaps they had run out of Sue LP labels!).
(A number (eg. (2)) after an LP details reminds me how many tracks have not been found.)

Wow, what an enterprise you have there.
In 1976 Record Information Services published a complete Sue listing (EPs, LPs, 45s) with full track info using, as a basis, an original Sue Records catalogue.
If there was method of posting images I’d send one of the cover.
The Sue I have kept for posterity are
ILP 919 921 927

I take care of a-l-l my vinyl, it’s been with me since 1962.
I have nothing but admiration for “doers” like yourself- shamefully I’m a “non doer”
