Yes. They MAY have done some vinyls..I know I have a couple that have Columbia 
matrix numbers, like Earl Wrightson's "Rodger Young", but most Columbia 
cuttings are their usual laminated shellac. A couple of years ago I bought a 
huge load of VDs from someone who'd saved them, mint, since 1945, and he packed 
them badly..all the ones that broke were Columbias.
