[78-L] Blue decca reissue series

[Han Enderman]

I have images of 1-3, 5-7 & 14.
The most common one is # 7 Mel Torme, Night Must Fall / I'm Down... (mx L-3758/59),
which is also present on the ARLIE CD-ROM.
Note that there is no star but a dot at 12h.

Decca issued its blue Vocalion 55000 series in 1949.
There were ca. 76 releases. Not known if it started with 55000 or 55001.

>>> Decca reissue label that was blue but with the Seriff lettering and star and not block. 
Numbering on the records appears to be under 100. 
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.

Mid to late 40s, I think, and less than 20 numbers used. They're in the Decca Books.

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