[78-L] Plastic Decca

[DAVID BURNHAM]

I briefly dropped in on the local "Collectables" show in Mississauga today and found enough items to make it worth while, (like a Jelly Roll Morton record of "Fat Frances" and "Pep" in like new condition for $2).

But one interesting, (to me), record is a red plastic 12 inch record from Decca, (Wallenstein's "Warsaw Concerto").  The label is like a typical 1940ish Canadian Decca label except above the word Decca it says "Plastic" and below Decca it says "Vinylac".  I've never seen another Decca record like this which surprises me since it must have been a series and these records are obviously "unbreakable under normal use" so there should be plenty of them around.

Does anyone know anything about this series?
