  • Some releases have the same catalog numbers! If SWV was C&D'd or sued over a release, they would just replace the release with another one and give it the same catalog number. Examples of this would be Killer Snakes being replaced with The Night of the Cat, and they are both Cat #4230, or Secret File: Hollywood was replaced with Night of Evil, and they are both Cat #4379

  • The "modern" four-number catalog system that SWV uses didn't start until 1995. Before that, it was a set of three numbers.
