[78-L] AFM ban discography

Thu Sep 3 09:47:32 PDT 2020

Yes record companies could reissue old recordings during the ban. In fact, the Brunswick reissue series was started by Decca BECAUSE of the ban. Perhaps also the RCA Victor HJ Hot Jazz series as well. George Avakian also continued jazz reissues on Columbia — without them pesky John Hammond looking over his shoulder and taking undue credit.
