ASTR 001–004
Four studio albums, issued between 1978 and 1983. Humble Wizard remains the sole artist in the catalog.
ASTR 001
1978 · Humble Wizard · Studio album
Astrolabe's first issue and Humble Wizard's debut studio album. ASTR 001 established both the catalog sequence and the label's purpose: to give an unusually ambitious recording the time, manufacture and distribution required to exist as a finished object.

ASTR 002
1980 · Humble Wizard · Studio album
The second Humble Wizard studio album, issued two years after the debut. Recording, sleeve presentation and manufacture were handled as a more deliberate undertaking as the scale of the work increased.

ASTR 003
1982 · Humble Wizard · Studio album
The third studio album. By 1982 Astrolabe's production logistics had begun to match the complexity of the recordings themselves, coordinating studio work, manufacturing and visual design as a single operation.

ASTR 004
1983 · Humble Wizard · Studio album
The fourth and most recent Humble Wizard studio album. Issued in 1983, it remains the latest entry in the catalog: a large-scale recording whose manufacture and presentation were carried out by a label that had stayed deliberately small.
