[78-L] Need Decca numbers

[David Lennick]

Indeed, Decca didn't waste much time reusing that 25000 series which was 
originally 12" red label classical, reissued mostly from Odeon-Parlophone but 
also from English Decca (still leaving Odeon Parlophone on the labels). Several 
of these and the 10-inch 20000 series were still in the 1943 catalog.
