Columbia (Canada) / 1941
Corporate background:
Having acquired the American Record
Corporation and Brunswick in 1938, Columbia became a major
music industry corporation.
This Canadian release was pressed by
Sparton.
Design: At
the top of the label, the traditional Columbia double note is
paired with a microphone carrying the initials 'CBS.'
The arrangement is rather like an owl on a
branch in the light of a full moon, hooting a couple of
quavering notes.
The typeface for 'Columbia' has been
changed yet again, to a monoline sans serif of the 'grotesque'
variety.
