American Record Companies An Encyclopedic History By Allan Sutton
A directory section preceding each entry includes company founding, record-production, and closing dates; office, studio, and pressing-plant locations, with dates of operation for each; original- and licensed-master sources; foreign affiliations; and a listing of all commercial labels and other record products. The volume also includes a lengthy introductory history of the American recording industry from the 1880s through 1950; user's guide; company timelines and genealogical charts; glossary; extensive references (largely primary-source); and label and subject indexes. 760 pages / 7" x 10" full-cloth hardcover |
"Clearly a labor of love, and obviously something that took years to compile. American Record "I am in awe of the scope, breadth, detail and documentation."
