[78-L] 1948 French Decca label 78 - Edith Piaf

[Han Enderman]

I mentioned these European jazz/swing recordings since they were issued in the
Decca(C) 240000 series, with the usual label type.
240061 Fud Candrix: South Paw Special / Piano Boogie.
240322 Hazel Scott: The One I Love...

I have a single label image with a higher issue nr, 240431 Lucienne Boyer: Mon Coeur...,
which has a different label type, with DECCA at 12h and "Disque Supreme" curved
along the upper rim, and .Compo mentioned along the lower rim. The mx is listed on the label.

None that I have ever seen; all of mine have a gold-on-dark-blue (usual 
Compo
colours) with a label design that looks like a monochrome version of the 
French
Decca already posted.

What was the issue number...and is this the usual Compo version of the US
Decca label?

Again...which label and what number?
