[78-L] Columbia discography

[Samuel Samuel]

Although confine to Columbia Masterworks 78rpm albums - I have the latest version of my discography on-line at:
 http://www.78rpmcommunity.com/documents/2/18/columbia-masterworks-78rpm-discography-v-2-0 for people to look over.

 With great thanks to James North etc... for additional information, the discography now covers over 900 matrix numbers and a complete listing of all "masterwork" sets (both issued and not issued) by Columbia U.S. for the M series, X series, S series and OP series. (Also a draft of the Canadian  D series, J Series)

 Of course, this document is a  *DRAFT ONLY*.
 Constructive criticism, error reporting etc is greatly encouraged.

 The actual listings start on page 15.

Funny you should ask. Leah and I were in D.C. last week at Sam and Gail Brylawski's and Sam is in Santa Barbara right now to start the set up of exactly what you are asking for -- a Columbia on-line master directory. It will not have as much detail as the Victor project has -- it will be based mainly on the published Brooks-Rust set -- but it will be designed to interface with the next part of the Jukebox project: streaming acoustical Columbias.
