 | | Some U.S. record firms like Brunswick and Columbia were acquired by the American Record Corporation, an amalgamation of the Cameo, Pathé, Plaza and Emerson firms which gradually became Victor's only competitor until the late-1934 start of Decca. |
 | | The Bluebirds proved popular, with close to 250 records being issued in the B4900 series and its successors (the numbers jumped to 4700 with French-Canadian material given its own 4800 series; this oddly enough conflicts with an Irish series in the U.S., which could be the "Fiddle" tunes issued under English names)! |
 | | In prefixes, 10 to 19 indicated Red Seal records, 20 to 29 fl-label popular, country, race or ethnic records, 30 to 39 Bluebird records, 40 to 49 various special issues and later, 45s, and 50 (or at least 55) to 59 Canadian records. |
