[78-L] Help with discography info on Col. Masterworks

[Sam Hopper]

During my research, I've come across a number of discrepancies  
regarding album numbers.

It seemed Columbia changed the album contents while keeping the same  
album number a number of times during the Masterworks series.

Examples include: M-47 and M-236
