[78-L] Metal 78 Stampers

[David Lennick]

Vera was on EMI well after the Decca years, with those "Hits of the Blitz" 
albums. A CD of these (I presume) for the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of 
WWII went right to the top of the charts last month and I'm told it knocked the 
Beatles Box out of top spot.

Right, it says "recorded over 70 years ago" so I don't know if they made a deal 
to use the original Deccas or her 50s/60s later recordings.
