Directory of American Disc Record Brands and Manufacturers, 1891-1943
Editorial Reviews
Review
“For those...who have collected at least a moderate number of discographies, and who want first rate historical material on the sound recording industry of the United States, Allan Sutton's directory is a must. It is a sort of master guide to American sound recordings from the beginnings to 1943, or the work that ties everything together. Sutton's outstanding volume is a valuable reference tool for all libraries collecting significantly in the area of American music, both as a wide spectrum source of data on the American recording industry and as a general companion volume to any specialized discographies of United States sound recordings a library may hold. It is highly recommended for all academic libraries and all larger public libraries.”–
