The Collector’s Guide to Gramophone Company Record Labels 1898 - 1925
Howard Friedman

Email Howard Friedman I am afraid Howard has changed his e-mail address without letting us know. If anyone is in touch with him could you let me have his address. Len Mullenger

These pages were prepared in 2013. In August 2016 I learned that Howard was already over 80 when he sent me his material and subsequently died. They stand as a memorial to him.
