Should this not be a separate label entry from the main Decca series seeing as it was specialised and had its own catalogue number prefix and sequence -- MW.xxx

The "Music While You Work" Deccas for sure constitute their own series. Here is an example:
al-collins-and-his-orchestra-ten-days-with-baby-decca-78-t.jpg

I'm not sure if that means we need to list them under a separate label. We don't use a separate label name, for example, for Victor's International Series (maybe because Victor itself doesn't consistently mark them with that series name) or the various Parlophone Swing, Rhythm, etc. series,
harry-james-and-his-orchestra-two-oclock-jump-parlophone-78-t.jpg
or even series marked with a separate prefix, such as the Columbia E (for ethnic) or F (for Foreign) series:
eska-selska-kapela-vecky-myi-za-sebou-columbia-78-t.jpg
columbia-ukrainska-orchestra-ukrainskyj-hopak-columbia-78-t.jpg

Both Columbia Swing Music and Decca Music While You Work have that stated loud and clear as part of the label name. The other examples here do not.

While Columbia Swing Series does not have a separate catalogue number series, Decca Music While You Work does, so would call it equivalent to (US) Columbia Masterworks

Having given it some thought, on balance I would agree with Amy on this one and it should be a stand-alone label.

What you've said makes sense, and it's fine with me as well to make this series into a separate label.

Question is then, how do we do it. Looks like it would have to be one at a time edits

Agree, that they shall have their own label.

Juts discovered (and bought) an interesting CD compilation of some tracks from the series as well as other tracks featured on the BBC radio programme of the same name

A few years ago, there was a bunch of them (10+) in a chazza in Camden, north London. Obvs they weren't there when I went back... :angry:
