[78-L] Blue decca reissue series

[jim brannen]

Thanks guys. I have been curious about that series since I first spotted one in a second hand store over 50 years ago. I don't think they sold that well, because you rarely see them.

These were 50-centers, the series started in August, 1947. I suppose Decca was getting ready for the anticipated Petrillo ban.

Only know of 2, #14 by Dick Robertson with matrix #'s from 1938 and issued on the origianl blue deccas prior and #8 by Bob Crosby, from 1940 and also originally issued on the reg. blue Decca label.
