Has anyone ever assembled a catalog of Columbia cylinders?

Post by Zenger »

Greetings. I am fortunate to own several excellent catalogs of Edison cylinders (Koenigsberg, Sutton, and Dethlefson), as well as Sutton & Nauck's great catalog of Indestructible cylinders, but I am unaware of any catalogs of Columbia cylinders. Has anyone ever assembled (and hopefully published) one? If so, how might I access or buy it?

Thanks!

There's a full copy of "Two-minute Brown Wax and XP Cylinder Records of the Columbia Phonograph Company" by Kenneth Lorenz available on the Internet Archive:

Thank you! That's a great resource. I can't believe it's 44 years old and I'm only just learning of it now. Has anyone ever added anything to it to make it easier to use? The Sutton book, for instance, has such great indexes.

Is there any chance other volumes in this series are available online, too? How many were there?
