benchwarrant17 17th Nov 2022		from my address book Decca LA 1934-1940 5505 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, California Recordings Incorporated Studios, 5505 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, California Date: 8/8/34 Before 1940, the studio and transcription business located at 5505 Melrose Avenue was known as Recordings, Inc. and was used extensively by Decca from the very beginning of its recording history in 1934. When Recordings, Inc. went out of business in 1940, Decca took over the building at 5505 Melrose Avenue, installed all new equipment,and became Decca Studios, Hollywood. September 1944 Decca Recording Studio, 5505 Melrose Ave., Hollywood, CA http://stevenlewis.info/crosby/1930s.htm 1934 Aug 8 Records Decca's first songs at Decca Studios at 5505 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, 'I Love You Truly,' 'Let Me Call You Sweetheart,' and two others, under contracts that eventually run to December 31, 1955.

Pridesale 4th Jul 2020		From the disc



Pridesale 10th May 2019		Film of Thanks, slightly faster than the record, and phrasing a little different.



xiphophilos 10th Dec 2018		My guess would be that L.A. stands for Los Angeles. Decca's recordings in New York don't have any prefix, but the Los Angeles recordings usually have DLA or, as here, L.A.



Pridesale 9th Dec 2018



Pridesale 9th Dec 2018		Thanks. What does L.A. mean, out of interest?



xiphophilos 6th Dec 2018		The matrix number of "Black Moonlight", LA. 4, is the same on both releases, Brunswick 01596 and Columbia DB 2085, so yes, they are both the same recording from 1933.



Pridesale 6th Dec 2018		Is the 1933 release the same as the 1941 UK Columbia issue? Note: in 'Too Much Harmony' the tune was sung by Kitty Kelly. ('Black Moonlight' but the dubbed voice was actually that of Barbara Van Brunt.)



soultwinz SUBS 18th Jan 2014		this record is from 1933, i believe
