Perfect wasn't part of the relationship until CBS-Columbia took over the 
American Record
Corporation (which was assembled from Plaza, Regal, Cameo/Pathe, Scranton
Button/Record usw. with some help from UK Crystalate in the late summer of 
1929...!).

MANY years ago, I set out to enter RR 51/52 (the Perfect issue) into DB 
III+...never
finished though...but that got me interested in computerized database 
technology...?!
