Harmony was Columbia's "cheap label" from 1925 until mid-1932 along with
Velvet Tone (which had a parallel numbering with Harmony until very near
the end of both labels). A third label, also parallel-numbered, was Diva; it
was a "store label" for W. T. Grant. CBS revived the Harmony name in
1948, and issued primarily vintage Columbia sides for a year or so.
