[78-L] Corrections for Decca 17000 Cajun series titles (for Tyrone)

[Cary Ginell]

I do not know where Abrams got it. I did all the research from primary sources back when I was writing my Decca book. I did have a Decca catalog that I used to corroborate the information. Wherever possible, I used what was on actual copies of the records. I would keep all the English titles because they are quite useful, and frankly, after all these years (my book was published in 1989), I don't remember which ones were on the labels and which were added later.
