[78-L] Decca take markings

[David Lennick]

Same takes, different cutting tables. (The impossible possibility of "pstereo" 
can be debated amongst you, and while you're at it, deal with Capitol's 'L' and 
'R' takes.) Different dubs from the same master occur after 1943 (they didn't 
go to 16-inchers until during the ban, when they bought World's facilities) and 
are indicated by T- and a number. Even then, I've found supposedly identical 
takes that are different (Many a New Day, from Oklahoma, has audible vocal 
differences in two copies I've had).
