I'll just copy the Best of the Bunch sections here:

"In keeping with Harry’s practice, each and every new entry on the list
is marked with a dagger (†) symbol, and those recordings that are still
available new or re-issued are marked with a double dagger (‡). LPs with
particularly natural, as opposed to hi-fi spectacular sound have been
awarded an asterisk (*)."
