Famous 78 rpm Performers

I am an avid collector of 78 rpm recordings - mostly classical. I am currently writing a discography of all the known Columbia Masterworks 78rpm Album recordings of the 'M', 'X', 'S' and Canadian 'D' and 'J' series.

Hence, I am an avid discographer and have amassed a great deal of discography information on a variety of 78 rpm recording artists.

The following explanations may help when reading the information in my posts: CM - Columbia Masterworks CX - Columbia Masterworks (2 record set) C - Columbia Prefix 12 inch -D - Columbia Suffix 12 inch VM - Victor RCA Masterworks VM-X - Victor RCA Masterworks (2 record set) V - Victor Prefix 12 inch P - Parlophone Album P-R - Parlophone Prefix 12 inch G - HMV English DB - HMV Prefix 12 inch DA - HMV Prefix 10 inch
