jmc's classics
January 22 was the anniversary of the Columbia Phonograph company in 1889. It was founded in 1889 by Edward D. Easton in Washington DC. Thus is the name "Columbia" It evolved and was purchased by Sony(a Japanese company)and is a major classical label. They are owned by BMG Who also owns RCA which is another major classical label. RCA purchased Victor Talking Machine Company in 1929.
I wish that more of the early sound recordings were more available on CD etc.
