[78-L] First Decca albums

[Han Enderman]

I have an image of a Decca "envelope" titled 'Home On The Range: A Collection Of Cowboy Songs', 
containing De 1427-1429 by Frank Luther and The Luther Trio, recd 25 June 1937.
The envelope contains the 3 records in sleeves.
I assume that this set was first issued in 1937. The orig. issue should have sunburst labels.
The image shows Decca block labels, and thus was issed in 1938 or later.
There is no album nr on the labels.

Was this set issued before Decca album 1?
The first Decca album of which I have some info is album 10 (= De 1907-1911) (Hawaiian tunes).
Can someone tell me which ISSUES (catalogue nrs) are in Albums 1-9, so that I can check
the label images?

>>> Jack Kapp at American Decca was the first to establish a major series of 
albums of varied genres, mostly popular, in late 1937.  By the time 
Steinweiss illustrated his first cover in 1940 for Columbia, Decca had 
already issued over 100 albums, many illustrated with cover photos, and 
all others with colorful papers and are-deco lettering.  I have or have 
images of 2/3s of the first 126 albums but would like to show all of 
them if I can.  The following is a list of the numbers I need.  To get 
it quickly out, I am just pitting down the numbers but will be filling 
in the titles and artists shortly.

Thank for your help.
