I used Barr and Eddie Shaw's DATES to fill in a few places in the software where I didn't have info. I also added some date ranges from various published discographies to the label biogs. But this wasn't the right way to go, as the Barr and Shaw ranges were approximate, and many of the bigger labels didn't release things in strict number order. So the software was written to allow release months to be provided. I hit lucky and picked up Ronald Taylor's book which covered many 12" Columbias 1906-1930, with release dates. I haven't explored Decca properly yet, but the dates came from Michael Smith's book.
