This title is out-of-print in book form. The CD-ROM edition contains the complete contents of the original book, deleting only the introductory preface and incidental comments by the editor of the print edition. Royalties from the sale of this work are paid to the Brian Rust estate and benefit prostate cancer research in the U.K.

Mr. Rust's death earlier this year was a great loss to the collecting community, but his legacy will be carried on by Mainspring Press, to which he assigned exclusive world rights to publish all subsequent revisions and editions of Jazz Records. You can read about the new Jazz Records-7 initiative in the Mainspring Newsletter.
