Reviews

?With so much experience between these two veterans, it almost seemed a foregone conclusion that not only would they be the ones to prepare the M-G-M stats, but that it would be printed in the same easy to read format that has characterized their previous work.... The actual format of the M-G-M discography is a patented one that makes research fast and easy..... Once again, Greenwood Press and Michel Ruppli & Ed Novitsky have teamed together in a magnificent documentary of one of the foremost labels of recorded music's golden era. You will be astounded by the roster of stars who are represented.?-In Tune
