Encyclopedic Discography of Cuban Music 1925-1960
Cristóbal Díaz-Ayala
The recording labels that have no abbreviation or are represented by prefixes that appear before the record number, as, for example, in the case of MKL for Victor Mexicana, do not appear on the list. The discs listed on the discography are 78s, unless they have the LP, CD or 45 initial attached, or because thay have prefixes that do not correspond to 78 recordings.
The abbreviations listed to the right indicate the country or city of the recording label location.
The 78s are all on 10" format unless it is stated as 12", indicating a 12 inch format. On the contrary, LPs are always in a 12 inch format, unless indicated by 10", meaning a 10 inch format.
Cylinders are written as CL, and cassettes by CAS. Discs on 45pm format use the number 45 at the beginning, preceeded by the EP initials if they are "extended playing", a format that allowed two songs to be recorded on each side.
