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

[Michael Biel]

Too bad that you can's remember which were your translations and which
were on the labels.  I am wondering about the translation of Blues
Negres 17004A.  Was that on the label, or was that the title of the
original song at the turn of the century?  I was going to suggest that
your translations be put in brackets [ } .

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.
