[78-L] New book marks Columbia's 125th birthday

[Michael Biel]

The book alone is on Amazon for pre-order at $29.92 (list $45)

The full set is on the Columbia site pre-order at (gasp) $250

Fortunately I lucked into the Sony 100th Anniv box set for $25 at the
Mechanical Music Show a couple of years ago, so I might not need
anything but the book alone.

 I hope the book alone becomes available. It would be nice to see a
worthy companion to "Hayes on Record", "His Master's Voice in America" &
"EMI 100 Years" [excluding the intro, please]. Cheers,  Duane Goldman
