columbia

columbia records

location: new york city, new york.

this is a very old label that i'm mostly interested in for old jazz releases, before it got merged into the major label conglomeracy. columbia was bought by sony in the late 80s in a series of convoluted processes. the 7464 code is prominent for varous types of columbia releases.

other sony labels:

the contemporary jazz masters remaster series releases on columbia are late 80s to early 90s remasters of old jazz records released via the 7464 4 xxxx catalog code, before sony sadly shut it down. these are chronological by remaster date rather than by original release date.
