Good morning, Steve,
Working at a library that collects classical and Jazz LPs, I like to have catalogues for reference.
I have the book "NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ~ The Authorized Recordings ~ 1917-2005" by James North.
It has the ionic columns on the front cover. It's a great book, but it only has NYPH Columbia recordings listed.
I was hoping to find a complete catalogue of all Columbia classical and Jazz [especially classical] LPs, but that might be impossible.
Might such a listing be available somewhere on the Internet?
Thank you.
Regards,
Ben

Sorry for the confusion.
I have most of these supplements in my own collection as well as the dealer magazine from 1948 and 1949. What is it you wish to know?

Good morning, All
Does anyone have The Masterworks monthly supplements?
Would it be possible to get copies?
We are collecting that series of Columbia LPs as well as other series and other labels.
Regards,
Ben

The album covers for the blue 78s that Columbia issued around 1930 look far more like a tomb stones than anything from the LP era.
