[td]==STV and CTV series (1979–1987)==[/td] [td]Beginning in 1979, Varèse Sarabande introduced a new cataloging system to differentiate its television and film soundtrack releases from its classical music catalog. This was achieved by using a distinctive "[[STV (TV channel)|STV]]" prefix, helping to avoid confusion between the two lines. Many of these early soundtrack titles were later reissued on CD—either by Varèse Sarabande itself or by other specialty labels such as [[Intrada Records]], [[Citadel Records]], and Kritzerland Records. These reissues are often cataloged under the label's 47000 series or as part of its CD Club releases.[/td]

[td][/td] [td]From 1984 to 1990, most soundtrack titles were issued in both LP and [[Compact disc|CD]] formats, during a transitional period when compact discs were gradually replacing vinyl records due to their larger storage capacity—approximately 80 minutes compared to the average 45 minutes of a standard LP. Many titles were also released on cassette, identified by a "CTV" prefix, to distinguish them from their LP and CD counterparts.[/td]
