A 1931 advert for Columbia Records. It appeared in the British music magazine, Melody Maker. The advert has an illustration of a female dancer fronting a swing band with the brass section and drummer. It promotes the dance music of the month - mainly big band music including Jack Payne and his BBC Dance Orchestra and Billy Cotton and His Band with music on 10 inch double sided disks. In 1887, a group of USA investors formed the American Graphophone Company, which would eventually become Columbia Records. Columbia is now the world's oldest record label. Columbia’s artists have included Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Bob Dylan and Adele – vintage 1930s graphics for editorial use only.
