Victor's
20000 / 21000-series records have long been subjected to myth-making
and questionable "research" method. Now, John Bolig strips
away the guesswork and fabricated data to reveal exactly what is
— and is not — contained in the original Victor, RCA,
and Gramophone Co. files. Features include:
- Discographic
details from the original files, correlated with the original
catalogs, supplements, and the records themselves
- Recording
dates and locations
- Release
dates and duration in catalog
- Catalog,
matrix, and take numbers, including information on dubbed masters
- Listings
of all corresponding U.S. and foreign issues in 78 format
- Alternate
and canceled issues
- Conductors,
arrangers, band vocalists, and other personnel details from the
recording files and other original company documentation; no speculative
or anecdotal personnel listings
- Artist
and title indexes
- Illustrated
