Description
This exceptional collection of six vintage discographical reference books and guides is an absolute treasure trove for the serious early recorded sound archivist or shellac collector. Representing foundational research in the field of discography, the lot includes A Guide to Pseudonyms on American Records, 1892–1942 by Allan Sutton (inscribed and signed by the author, dated 9/12/93); Brian Rust’s Guide to Discography (complete with the original Greenwood Press book review editor slip from December 1980); The Collector’s Guide to Victor Records by Michael W. Sherman (warmly inscribed and signed by the author); The Zon-o-phone Record: a Discography by Ernie Bayly and Michael Kinnear; Collectors’ Guide to American Recordings 1895–1925 by Julian Morton Moses (inscribed and signed by the author to “Allen and Judy”); and a bound reprint volume of The Hillandale News (Nos. 1 to 12, 1960–1963). These essential hardcovers and softcovers offer unparalleled historical data, catalog numbers, and matrix details for pioneering record labels. The volumes show light to moderate shelf wear, minor corner bumping, and typical age toning to the pages, but remain structurally sound with clean text blocks and highly desirable, authentic author signatures. Stacked: H 5.25″, W 9.25″, D 7″. See photos for condition.
