Dbx encoded discs

Is anyone familiar with dbx encoded discs? I have a single recording (Pictures at An Exhibition/Nigh on Bald Mountain), but there were other recordings made. I have not found a catalog though.

Hey Benjie.
Nice collection.
And yes I found Discogs to be invaluable as to what records were offered in dbx format.
What are you using to decode?
I just discovered I have approximately 9 dbx encoded Cassette tapes.

I am using the DBX NX40 decoder. Nice small unit. I run it through the tape loop from my pre amp. I disconnect the cables from my reel to reel and connect the NX40. Fast and easy.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of these discs available on Discogs.  I have placed a few into my cart and wil place the order once the stimulus check arrives.
@rok2id5 you can get an idea for the value by going to discogs and performing a search. If you want, i can perform the search for you and get back to you.

@benjie I run mine through the tape-loop of my SAE5000 (which I run through the tape loop of my Soundcraftsman EQ). That frees my preamp to just run my tape decks.

@uberwaltz - I did find about 4-5 recordings at Discogs. A lot was music that I was unfamiliar with though.
