The discussion of about Jonathan and Darlene got me to thinking about
the fortunes of US Columbia in the UK prior to the birth of the CBS
label there.
I am not sure what happened with US Columbia releases in the 40s ---
did they end up on HMV?
But - as my main interest is the 50s (what I'll call the US Columbia
lp era, knowing that it started in th late 40s) and beyond, I wonder
about the cross pollination cross the Atlantic. Are these facts correct:
1950s (lp era) US Columbia (and Okeh) releases ended up on Philips
Later 50s US Columbia releases were on Philips, Epic releases (and
some Okeh) where on Fontana.
Likewise, UK Philips and Fontana domestic releases came out on
Columbia and Epic in the USA.
Is this mostly true
