[78-L] Decca joins the war of the speeds

[David Weiner]

Well, NORWAY was a popular album - I've seen many copies on LP and it
stayed in print for long time.  And surely Decca wasn't thinking of
posterity when they assigned those issue numbers! I was thinking you meant
something like THE LITTLEST ANGEL or ANTA ALBUM OF STARS!
