[78-L] columbia history of music

[Tom Hood]

hi all
I have just been offered a 6 volume set of 10" English Columbia 78s called 
the history of music.it was intended for schools.I do not have the discs yet 
but have been told some of the titles and artists.they appear to be mostly 
second or third string performers with a few exceptions.each album has 8 
discs.I have never heard of the series.can anyone out there shed any 
additional information on it?
