Hi 3.mybabyleftme.
Hmm, normally that Vico Torriani LP-Album you have uploaded was released in Germany through TELDEC-Record-company on the red-golden DECCA label and not on the black-golden London-label in Germany. So, i came to my conclusion that your copy is a special pressing for US-Soldiers in Germany, similar like those US-Army-issues by Elvis Presley, or it is a very curious misprint with wrong labels. So one is clear, that is NOT normal for such a Decca-record by Vico Torriani.
I have a German collectors-book about the TELDEC-Recordcompany history after the WW-2.
There is a chapter on the topic of German releases with US-artists, like Elvis, Pat Boone, Fats Domino and so on. The author shows a German folk-music-record, with bavarian traditional music, with the black-golden london label and he declared that copy as an US-Army-issue to be sold in the so called PX-Shops for US-Soldiers and their families.
Maybe i am totally wrong with my idea on your London Vico Torriani record but it makes sense according to the information from that book about the history of the record-company TELDEC.
Maybe you know that book, too.

Hello 78rpm-maniac,
you talk about the London Single by Vico!
Was it a german London Edition? Or UK-CAN London with the english Title "Calcutta".
All 2 "Calcutta " was sung in german. Just US London 45 1965 V was sung in english.
Im just specialize of the RCA "Army Edition" of Elvis. I does´t know if the same size of Records on London exist.
Wow, interesting to see a Vico Torriani LP on German London-Label.
Is it possible, that is also can be a pressing for US-Soldiers in Germany. Sold in the Army PX-Shops, like the old so called Army-Pressings of Elvis Presley records ?
I also have seen a london single by Vico Torriani with an english version of Kalkutta liegt am Ganges.
