	Decca Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the late 1950s, Patsy Cline was signed to the US Decca label from Everest Records and had three albums and numerous singles while she was alive and several more albums and singles produced after her death in 1962.
		In 1962 British Decca executive Dick Rowe turned down a chance to record a young group from Liverpool called the Beatles in favor of local beat combo Brian Poole and the Tremeloes; in retrospect this was a historic mistake.
		The Decca label is currently in use by Universal Music Group worldwide; this is possible because Universal Studios (which officially dropped the MCA name after the Seagram buyout in 1997) acquired PolyGram, British Decca's parent company in 1998, thus consolidating Decca trademark ownership.

	Decca Labels
		Decca's second label retained some circular banding along the sides but reduced the overall size of the label.
		This Decca style began with approximately album DL 8100 in the 8000 series, 8319 in the 8300 series, and 9018 in the 9000 series.
		Decca used this label style until 1973, when MCA switched all Decca albums and singles to its own (MCA) label.

		Date: 9 Oct 1995 13:43:16 -0400 The Decca Tree is a technique of recording that grew out of Decca's research and development into stereo which started in 1954 with Arthur Haddy and Kenneth Wilkinson and their team.
		Decca has a long tradition of developing their own methods and technology, and so they set out to develop their own method of recording stereo as well as developing their own proprietory designs of console and other recording equipment.
		In a typical Decca recording session, every effort is taken to find a suitable recording venue with desired reverberant characteristics, which are typically tailored by the addition of large hanging drapery or the placement of large sheets of wood in the hall the adjust the quality of the reflected sound.

	Salon: Farewell, Lady Decca
		The way Decca bugled out the word "penis," entered it triumphantly into the concert hall after the adjectival build-up of "enormous" in her plummy tones, changed the entire mood of the gathering.
		In 1963 came Decca's first big literary success, "The American Way of Death." At least half of it was written by Truehaft, who, as a labor organizer, had urged her to investigate the funeral industry.
		Decca was proof of that old Latin tag about not losing the reasons for living just for the sake of living.

		Decca's first husband, Esmond Romilly, was a nephew of Winston Churchill who had run off from England as a teenager to fight for the Loyalist cause in the Spanish Civil War.
		Always up to a challenge, Decca played herself in Woody Allen's film, "Play it Again, Sam." And recently, she began a surprising new sideline: singer for Decca and the Dectones, where she warbles "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" by the Beatles and a few other tunes.
		When Decca broke an ankle last year, he spent hours attending her in the hospital, reading in her room or bringing in special foods such as smoked salmon to prepare for her in a nearby kitchen.

	Is There A Difference (London/Decca) by Sedrick Harris
		British Decca was forbidden to import their record albums to the U.S. using the Decca name because there already was a U.S. based record company in America named Decca Records, Inc.
		The two Decca's sounded very similar which says that the German re-issues are really excellent and a great value (the major differences is in the dynamics of the pressings with the original having a greater dynamic impact and a slight softening of the transient high frequency information).
		The other difference I noted between the two Decca's was that the English Horn solo at the end of the 1st movement was not as focused on the re-issue as the original.

	G&S Discography: Explanation of the Word "Decca"
		This would tie in with the original Decca logo, which was a musical stave with a treble clef and the notes D, E, C, C and A written in crotchets with the letters underneath to spell that magic word, followed by another treble clef.
		Decca was originally a company that started off distributing musical instruments and manufacturing watches and steel pens.
		During this time, the British Decca recordings were distributed by London Records, and it continued like this through the 20 fruitful Polygram years (with DG and Philips, and other illustrious pop and jazz labels, not to mention other entertainment sources) up to the 1998 merger with Universal.

		The mouth opening of the DECCA horn measures 14.9 by 28.1 cm (the surface of the mouth opening is 418 cm2) and makes it possible to use the London Ribbon from 1000 Hz.

	BBC - Radio 3 - The Decca Boys - 4/4. The Ring Achieved
		Decca's project of recording Wagner's Ring cycle hung fire for several years in the early 1960s because of a world shortage of heroic tenors.
		But meanwhile the Decca Boys were coping with the titanic presence in the Sofiensaal of Europe's conducting colossus, Herbert von Karajan.
		The Decca Boys thoughtfully provided a real horse, causing much mirth at the final recording session of what had been, to quote narrator Humphrey Burton, 'an epic venture in the history of classical recording'.

	Beatles Reference Library - The Decca Tapes
		Despite continual references to it as such, we have no solid evidence that it is. No one from Decca has authenticated it, and the song lineup does not conform to memories (in the 1960's) of what the Beatles had played for Decca.
		This suggests the Decca audition as the occasion, but let's keep a mental note that we are still a bit short on proof that it is Decca, and leave open other possibilities.
		Decca never signed the band, so they have no recording rights, even aside from the Kaempfert--Polydor claims I just mentioned.

	Ella Fitzgerald: The Decca Years (1 of 9)
		The documented evidence, the 114 recordings Fitzgerald made for Decca in her big band years 1935 to 1941, show no sooner that was she coronated Queen of the Savoy than did she begin to conquer territory far beyond that ballroom's domain.
		Fitzgerald's reign over Harlem began with a single dramatic event: when she won an amateur contest at the Apollo in 1934, she not only established herself as a coming vocalist but that theatre as the primary starmaker of fl showbusiness.
		The incident has been told and re-told so many times, primarily because it may be the most dramatic occurrence in Fitzgerald's life (it would have been the least dramatic in, say, Billie Holiday's), that one can almost imagine it as a TV movie of the week with Diahann Carroll in the lead.

		Through its Decca 5000 series of the 1930s and 1940s, the American Decca recording company became the most influential record label in the burgeoning hillbilly music category, the forerunner of today's country and western music.
		Cary Ginell demonstrates that the Decca 5000 and other hillbilly series had a major role not only in documenting the history of hillbilly music but also in affecting its course by influencing future recording artists in the genre.

		There is of course the musical element -- many of Decca's earliest successes were with country artists, and the company's commitment to hard country music was in many ways stronger than that of other major labels.
		Even during the height of the Nashville Sound, and right into the thick of the Countrypolitan era, Decca (which became MCA in 1970) was still putting out fairly meaty country music.
		The good side to this, though, is that means there's plenty of thrill left to the hunt when it comes to collecting Decca material.

		The Decca trade name was first used in 1914 for a portable gramophone manufactured by a company Barnett Samuel & Sons Ltd., called the Dulcephone.
		There were actually two branches of Decca, the first established in England and the second some years later in the United States.
		Records with the Decca brand name appeared for a few more years, but soon this familiar label became part of recording history.

		As the Decca Marine and Aircraft Receivers were only available on a rental basis, the changes in transmission formats did not cause problems to the end users – the company simply upgraded the receivers free of charge as part of the rental contract.
		But because Decca was not obligated to publish the transmission format, this arrangement effectively prohibited other potential competitors from entering the market.
		The Decca chapter is particularly well written and is an excellent source for a technical description of the operation of the Decca System.

		I have found Decca Treuhaft to be one of the most snigmatic, fascinating and inspiring influences, through her writing, since, unfortunately I never plucked up the courage to try to meet her.

		The various scenes of the intoxicating program music are presented in a low, gloomy and dark timbre until finally a heroic attitude comes to the fore, accompanied by thundering drum rolls, when the death sentence is pronounced.
		The central idea of the Nocturne is, as one might expect, night and sleep, the poems drawn from diverse poets, the wider to illumine the corners of the darkness.
		And that is precisely what DECCA must have had in mind when they entitled the present Liszt recording A Recital.
