Comments and Reviews


han enderman 3rd Feb 2024		De 3540 (181-5/6) - images of disc 3 added, with same label type (#3) as already present. Album 181 exists in 4 variants, starting with the 1st version of the Decca block type (#1), followed by the next 2 block label types (#2-3), and then the last block type with the side numbers in large print (#4). Disc 6 (#3) is already present as a separate entry and these images should be added here. The separate entry of disc 4 is #1, but the images can be added here too, of course. - As every type consists of 12 labels, the ultimate goal here is 48 images. The 4 label types are shown under disc 2, Decca 1044.



slholzer 15th Dec 2016		Some odd things happened when these discs were converted form original stand-alone discs to album sides. "Star Dust", which started life as the B side of Decca 2374, became the A side on the album, and "Deep Purple", the erstwhile A side was demoted to a B. On the original Decca 1044 (a Sunburst label, incidentally) the artist title read BING CROSBY acc. at the piano by Ivan Ditmars. The album version, which has the same mx number as the original, reduced that to simply BING CROSBY. Ditmars has morphed into a previously unmentioned Piano Quartet and been moved to the 3 o'clock position with the secondary credits/description block.
