While the company Riverside Records bankrupted in 63, the label name (and the LC) were used from time to time to reissue complete recordings boxsets and anthologies.
Still, please do not add Fantasy Original Jazz Classics reissues here. Though they may mention the origin of the release as Riverside, they are not Riverside reissues per-se.

* 1100 series (stereo)
* 800 series
* 3500 series
* 7500 series
* 600 series
* 5000, 5500, 5700, 7000, Box Set series
* 1400 series
* Sampler Album series
* abc Riverside 3000 series
* 1000, 2500, 8000 series

You may find prepended "RLP" (for Riverside LP) added to catalog numbers.

The following are possibly either subsidiaries or special Riverside series:
* Judson 3000 series
* Battle 6100 series
* Jazzland series
* Washington Records: Offbeat 3000, 4000, 4900, 5700 series
* Washington Records: R, 400, 700 series

All of these are 12"LP, but the 1000, 2500 and 8000 series which are 10"LP.
