The bone of contention here is that your statement ""Atlantic's biggest

single of the '50's was "Mack The Knife" by Bobby Darin" might have

looking for it--in vain--on the Atlantic listing posted the other day.
In that sense whilst true it can also be said to be misleading

Therefore my revised statement adding "on the subsidiary Atco label"
certainly makes the sentence more accurate

No it doesn't, it just makes it more detailed.
Stop being a record collector. Nobody in 2025 is gonna look for "The
Record." They would go listen to it on Youtube. And even if by some
miracle they go to look for "The Record" where would they go? There are
hardly any record stores anymore, and other than Shively who else has a
record store where records are filed by label?
Even if they somehow wanted the record if they walked into Shively's
store they won't be looking through the shelves for the record. They're
gonna ask Chuck of Val for a copy of "Mack The Knife" by Bobby Darin,
and they will get them one. Knowing the actual label is irrelevant to
finding a copy.
