[78-L] Early Supraphon LPs

[David Lennick]

English Decca jumped on the lp (some of my old ones sound as if that's what 
happened to them) and you'll see a 1949 copyright date on the earliest Londons, 
and presumably on the domestic product as well. It was really only EMI that 
resisted, until 1952.
