[78-L] Label Info. Query Answered

[Charles Bihun]

Malcolm,

I think it is a private publication, so the best bet is probably to contact Mr. Wheeler.  This is what led me to him:

Price is $55 plus $4.50 shipping by Media Mail in the U.S., $11 to Canada and $20 to U.K. and Europe via International First Class mail. Interested parties can contact him at dialjazz at verizon.net). 
 
The link below is to an article about various writers with a thorough section on Geoff:

He has published a couple other books too.

This is a link to a biographical article about Geoff (he is president of the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors):

Geoff  has apparently spent endless hours searching for and compiling extensive information about obscure record labels from the '30s through the '50s.  In particular he has published a book, "Collectors Guide to Jazz on Bootleg& Reissue 78 R.P.M. Records 1932 to 1952.  It features 2500 rarities on 60 labels. It addition to hundreds of pages devoted to reissues on 78, it covers some 41 bootleg labels issued between 1946 and 1952.......
