This is near enough right. More to the point, Sony bought the whole of the Columbia organisation, movies, videos, music labels, the lot. q The allocation of the Columbia label to Sony Music was a relatively minor part of the assimilation. The main target is understood to have been the back catalogue of movies whose release on future video formats Sony can now control. -- Regards Steve Fagg ( S.L.Fagg@bnr.co.uk +44-279-402437 ) BNR Europe Ltd., London Road, Harlow, Essex, CM17 9NA, UK *** "Better drowned than duffers.
