Brunswick through the end of 1931 went to Decca in the early 40s. CBS retained 
Brunswick masters made from 1932 through 1940. The label was revived by Decca 
for reissues in the 40s, then made a division of Coral (at least as far as 
Canada was concerned, with the odd result that Musicana had Coral and Brunswick 
for a couple of years), used for jazz and some comedy (Al Jazzbo Collins) and 
then rock 'n' roll and R&B (The Crickets, Jackie Wilson) in the 50s, and 
somehow given away entirely to Nat Tarnopol in 1969. Lookee here..
