Columbia also had a little 'International' catalog (like 8 pages) for

Victor published in 1940 a 48 page booklet for their "International Records ("V" Series) -

are not included in this Catalogue", but "Included is a list of the latest
Greek and Turkish Orthophonic Label Records of the "S" Series".
