 [I'm only adding covers at the moment, so labels will follow]

I got this from a charity shop, so it's second hand.

...It's the standard UK black Decca (boxed logo) design, with silver print. The print quality looks more machine generated, if you know what I mean (very crisp and precise), and I have another Decca of Bruch Violin concerto by Kyung-Wha Chung from1972 which also has a made in Holland disc of this design inside a Robert Stace (England) sleeve.

(Will enter this soon)

So this set a little light bulb off in my head - regarding the oil shortage of the early seventies which caused EMI to get their discs made by Pathe Marconi (Contract presses of John Lennon's Imagine etc.), so surely the same thing has happened here with Decca?

The actual rim-text on the Chung labels gives: "Made In Holland. Mastered by Decca Recording Studio's UK" (the stray apostrophe is on the label text). This also has a Decca inner sleeve giving the UK address.

Sorry about the wonky cover scan here by the way, the sleeve itself has been glued together unevenly, so the front doesn't sit flat on the back. (I might unstick and re-do it actually).

 Added release month from Decca's 1975 UK catalogue. MM, did you buy this new, or second-hand from a shop that could have mismatched the record and the cover? Or, is this a PolyGram-era pressing on the grey label with red and blue borders, made in Holland for worldwide distribution after the New Malden factory was closed?

 Just entered this as UK, as per sleeve printing details (assumed it was a UK disc in there too), but the disc turns out to be made in Holland, which poses a quandary:

Which country should it be entered as?

...Undoubtedly the earlier UK copies of this WBG had the UK discs in, but as mine is a later boxed Decca logo, it may have been, or become practice for Decca to have Dutch discs in UK sleeves, albeit for the same market (UK), although, it could be considered to be Europe by this point.

But as this was released first in UK, I'll leave it as this, and consider the Dutch disc a variant on that.

Later issues of Deccas could therefore be entered as Europe it seems to me, if they were first issued when this was standard practice.

So an important tip would be to check the disc label manufacturer even when the sleeve is UK printed, you may find you have a Dutch disc inside if the copy you have is a seventies(ish) boxed logo one.
