[78-L] Plastic Decca

[David Lennick]

As far as I can recall, they used the regular 29xxx numbers, possibly with a 
prefix..I haven't seen that List Rachmaninoff set for quite a while (have it, 
haven't touched it in the last few moves). They all had large labels, which 
Compo was still using into 1946. (Yup, that's right Mr. Bergen, we're kinda 
slow up here, yup yup yup yup yup yup.)

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.
