Illustrations, mostly photographs of old record labels, have been added. There are some historic photos of people, including one of Bela Bartok recording folk songs in Transylvania, as well as current photos, such as one of an IPOD, accompanying the MP3 entry. Entries for record labels, performers, films, technical terms, and so on are short, but there are multiple-page entries for Columbia (label), Disc, and Opera recordings, among others. Pseudonyms offers a unique list of pseudonyms of recording artists. Sound recording periodicals lists more than 800 journals and magazines.
The second volume ends with a list of contributors and their affiliations, extensive endnotes, and an index. This is a comprehensive work on a subject that has not been covered in other reference sources. Although the price has increased from $125 to $275, academic and large public libraries with an interest in the recording industry should consider purchase. Christine Bulson
