detailed chronological discography of all published and unpublished
Caruso recordings in cylinder and 78-rpm formats
- Correct playing speeds for all issues
- Introductory
chapters examining labels, disc markings, recording contracts,
piracies, Caruso- related sheet music and ephemera, and much more
- Newly
discovered facts concerning the recording and manufacture of Caruso's
earliest records
- Color
illustrations of 32 rare or unusual records
- Title,
partner, and issue-number indexes, keyed to the discography for
easy location of any recording
