The first reliable, professionally researched discography of RCA Victor's popular budget label!

Like all titles in Mainspring's Victor Discography Series, The Bluebird Discography has been compiled onsite at the Sony Music archives (New York) from the original Victor Talking Machine Company / RCA Victor recording ledgers and production files. To preserve the integrity of this data, no undocumented, speculative, or anecdotal material appears.

Listings include all corresponding authorized issues and reissues (domestic and foreign) in 78-rpm format; master and take numbers; information on dubbed masters; recording studio locations and recording dates; release dates; and artist pseudonyms.

Volume I covers the following Bluebird series: 1800 (8" and 10"), B-4900 (U.S. issues), B-5000, and B-6000. It also features an illustrated history of Bluebird and the other RCA budget labels, User's Guide, and Artist and Title Index.

442 total pages, illustrated
7" x 10" quality softcover

JOHN R. BOLIG is the author of numerous books on historical sound recordings, including nine titles in the ongoing Victor Discography Series, and winner of the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections.
