Many years ago HMV microfilmed a lot of its paperwork. A copy is on file at the British Library Sound Archive. Not much pre-merger stuff from Columbia except catalogs but Gramophone and Victor are pretty thoroughly represented. (no Movie book though). I took a quick look while there for ARSC in 2003. I have a copy of the finding aid somewhere...

Any thoughts as to which one might have been used for a dance-band side like the Jack Jackson item in question? Studio One seems bigger than necessary, and Studio Three seems too small given the sound on the recording. That leaves -- well -- Studio Two, which is referred to as "the most famous studio in the world."And I wonder if a recording sheet exists for that Jackson 28 Feb 1935 session...too much to ask, no doubt!Take care,Joe—Cats: I've got 'em right where they want me._______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
