Not really. I and some other posters have put together a discography--PM me your e-mail address if you want me to send it to you.

Harlow's Harem is a best-of collection, which probably explains the lack of credits. Most of his actual albums do have them.

One of the early Wax Pos had a pretty exhaustive Fania article. 3 or 4 maybe?
