[78-L] Decca session information needed

[David Lennick]

TNY stands for (I think) "transcription New York"..correct me if I'm wrong. I 
see it on Standards and possibly LangWorths. The Decca Books list this set as 
having been recorded in New York sometime in 1943 and having Decca master 
numbers assigned June 3/43.

AA usually means a second lathe used for the recording. No idea what the S means.
