Hi. Must be Friday fever making my messages less coherent than usual.

What I am requesting, from anyone who feels willing to contribute, would be mostly the list of labels. I.e. is there anything important missing (there will be, as - as said - the list is built from items catalogued so far but obviously one can build in ready categories i.e. Sony Music).

But the most important thing is any thoughts about two or more label entries that can be merged into one, due to historical merger where it does not conflict with the needs of collectors and researchers, i.e. the Victor vs RCA Victor argument.   

Please don't worry about the Lab: etc texts and the shortcuts used. They are just for internal use (I copied part of a much larger list after removing non label items, that will also be used for indexing.  So it is for example "merge victor and rca victor" or "add label George Music" or did you mean "George Music Entertainment" rather than "George Musik Entertainment" ? spelling error.

Hope that is clear.   Obviously we are pulling together a number of records with reduced resources to try and get something good out.

The end use is then a means for a user to browse, i.e. browse to "discographies / victor" which might have the "victor, victor talking machine, etc" brochures, discographies, catalogues etc but keeping maybe "RCA Victor" separate due to it being a totally different beat.

Hopefully that is a bit clearer. Doesn't feel it, but it is time to stop for the day!

Best, Darren
