2007 ARSC Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research
At
last, a properly documented discography covering Banner, Regal, Domino, Oriole, Jewel, and the many other dime-store and mail-order 78 record labels
produced by the Plaza–Regal– Scranton group and its
successor, the American Record Corporation.
This
volume draws on five decades' research and first-hand observation
of the original discs by the late Billie W. Thomas and other
notable collectors, correlated with surviving file data, and compiled
and annotated by Allan Sutton. Features include:
- Discographic
data for Plaza–ARC matrices 5001–11082 (recorded 1922
through 1931), including renumbered outside matrices and control-number-only
issues
- Details
of more than 22,000 U.S. issues, including non-Plaza/ARC pressings
from Plaza/ARC masters. (Foreign issues will be covered in a later
volume.)
- Convenient
new format, with each issue detailed on its own line
- Recording
dates and locations, remake sessions, release dates, take numbers,
accompanists and band vocalists, artist aliases, control and
outside master numbers, composer credits, and other fine detail
- Extensive
annotation of discrepancies and errors found in previously published
works
- Illustrated
introductory history of the labels and companies
- Artist,
title, accompanist & vocalist, control number, and outside
mx. number indexes
