We now have 22 countries showing releases on London, though I suspect that London Record from Bulgaria is probably unrelated - anyone know? Also I suspect that London American from Pakistan should be renamed to just London The Bulgarian one is definitely not related to Decca's London as Decca London didn't exist at the time of issue. The Pakistani (as well as others that are similar) is a debatable thing. I would have called the label 'London American' in all cases including the UK. Likewise the South African should be 'London International'. In some ways they are similar to Decca Music While You Work, which we discussed a few weeks back, as they are a distinct series apart for the main London label. I think that for a certain period of time all London disks destined for the USA and Canada were initially pressed in the UK -- if it was European master. (Non-European masters would see local pressings first.) If demand required, US or Canadian pressings would be made to quickly supply the market for the 'imported' product. This may have continued in I'm guessing 1954. Amy
