Columbia Records is not only one of the leading names in the music industry, it's also the UrExample of a record label--it's existed since ''[[LongRunners 1888]]''. It was the first company to switch from wax cylinders to shellac discs. It's been owned by various companies, most notably Creator/{{CBS}} (1938-88) and Creator/{{Sony}} (1988-present); despite [[NamesTheSame the name]], it had no connection with Creator/ColumbiaPictures until the Sony deal brought both companies under common ownership.

It was the first company to switch from wax cylinders to shellac discs. Later, it became the first company to release albums on one 10" or 12" inch disc (rather than literal albums, with a bunch of 78s all in one package). It's been owned by various companies, most notably Creator/{{CBS}} (1938-88) and Creator/{{Sony}} (1988-present); despite [[NamesTheSame the name]], it had no connection with Creator/ColumbiaPictures until the Sony deal brought both companies under common ownership.
