[78-L] Decca blue label

[Cary Ginell]

It was some time late in 1945 when the last blue label Decca was issued. As for the last title, that would depend on which series you're talking about. I have the info at home but I'm someone here has the Ruppli books which will tell you. The last hillbilly number was 6112: Ernest Tubb (It's Been So Long, Darling/Should I Come Back Home to You), recorded 9/11/45. I believe there was some overlap between the end of the blue and the start of the brown labels.
