It examines the histories of more than 330 labels and their manufacturers, chronicalling the growth of the disc record from a crude toy in the 1890s to a multi-million dollar industry in the early 1940s. In this process, the Directory shows how power eventually came to rest in the hands of several major manufacturers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaken largely from original source material, \u003ci\u003eThe Directory\u003c\/i\u003e reveals master sources, master leasing policies, as well as examples of outright piracy.
