It examines the histories of more than 330 labels and their manufacturers, chronicalling the growth of the disc record from a crude toy in the 1890s to a multi-million dollar industry in the early 1940s. In this process, the Directory shows how power eventually came to rest in the hands of several major manufacturers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaken largely from original source material, \u003ci\u003eThe Directory\u003c\/i\u003e reveals master sources, master leasing policies, as well as examples of outright piracy. By tracing technological developments, corporate relationships, and the effects of changing musical tastes on the early record industry, Sutton provides an invaluable reference tool for all libraries and researchers concerned with recordings and the record industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan Sutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313292000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313292002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Allan Sutton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001142984959,"sku":"9780313292002","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9979e6f9-74f3-42f3-98ee-c2a8018207a7.jpg?v=1751600191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/directory-of-american-disc-record-allan-sutton-9780313292002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
