reissues, on 7-inch 33 1/3 LPs. This material, drawn from major American companies, was obtained by leasing agreements with their Australian branches and agents. This series was succeeded in January 1966 with a similar series of 12-inch LPs, The Jazz Makers, which drew mainly on American and European labels. In 1980, an additional 12-inch LP series, Vintage Jazz Archives, was introduced and devoted to the definitively programmed chronological reissues of early jazz. Swaggie has recorded visiting jazz artists in Australia and participated in international recording sessions, especially in New York and New Orleans, to form an extensive jazz archive. Introduction of the Compact Disc and the use of digital recording technology during remastering of the original analog master tapes for CD replication enabled Sherburn to expand the Swaggie catalogue.
