Rust was using a discographical anomaly caused by the recording ban. 
What do you suggest were the "dance band years"? Rust and Forbes's 
"British Dance Band" discography used 1945 as the cutoff, presumably 
because there was no recording band to cause a break in continuity.

I suggest it's only jazz and popular music enthusiasts who attach any 
significance to 1942. Even in the States, would record buyers have 
noticed that much difference in their buying habits other than 
restrictions caused by the war effort?
