[78-L] Decca take markings

[Michael Biel]

Interesting about Oklahoma -- now the sky is the limits on Decca also
once they started dubbing from those Vertical masters.  BUT the
T-numbers are not take numbers.  They are TRANSFER numbers.

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).
