78rpm: Boo-Woo - Harry James and the Boogie Woogie Trio, 1939 - Columbia 35958/C-44

thanks for the info...I'd like to sell my set to a serious collector....unfortunately, eBay has watered down many items..including 78's to less than $10 for this set.

so how did columbia pick up on the brunswick label & reissue it as their own? So, the set I have was issued when? I believe Columbia started the 'red label' in 1939. That doesn't necessarily mean that my Columbia Boogie Woogie 4 record set came out that year...just saying. Do you know when it was issued?

thanks

@ross2343 I believe this set was issued in 1940 - Brunswick and its catalog was owned by Columbia from 1932-1940 (only the Brunswick recordings from 1932-1940 were Columbia's property - the ownership changes of Brunswick from the 1920's-1940's were complicated, to say the least ;) ).

I have this same set...is it really 1939 production? I can't find the date anywhere on the box, sleeves, or records.

@ross2343 Yep - it was originally released on the Brunswick label in 1939. :)

Harrys big band may have had records that were commercial but his trio sure could swing!
