Living Decca SXL Blueback Guide

THE WORLD'S PREMIER REFERENCE ON GOLDEN AGE DECCA

{A new title for this page as I can say with confidence that no other resource can compete with our release cross references in the tables below. Our London Stereo Treasury listing stands apart as no other resource has a tenth the information.}
[Alert postimage.org recently was cited around April 2018 by the Internet's registrar for a domain definition problem and had to change to postimag.cc so this has busted the majority of our links to covers below. Here is link to the images sorted alphabetically:
(Missing London/Decca Pics) Not all links are busted as a few are to dropbox which I've been using for sometime now.]

Well here it is shoe horned on our lovely blog, a complete "Living" cross reference for the vintage Decca/London LPs and their reissues (no Opera per AQL). This document will be "Living" in many ways. First we will be linking like mad. For the SXL and Blueback CS release numbers if they are alive then you may click on them and the album cover will appear on a new page. If the piece is alive it will bring our review up on a new page (which will have pictures too).

We hope to suss out what is the best pressing for each LP, so for performance and sound ratings we are open ears. We will be marking what we think to be the best sounding copy. This is where our readers come in, so please comment with your ratings and any corrections. Aqlam and myself we'll be working with the format a bit before putting in the links since the blog interface is not flexible, so suggestions early on for format are most welcome.

We can't compress the information any more so forgive us for not having pricing on this page (too much to keep up.) The first column is the original Decca FFSS catalog number (SXLxxxxx). The London Blueback number follows (CSxxxx). You'll note some Decca mono LXT numbers when Decca released no SXL. They have been placed to show up roughly chronologically with their recording dates, so the list starts out with some LXT entries for recordings from 1955 and 1956 and then some from 1957 and 1958. We also have some LXT piles around the SXL2100, 2200, and 2300 marks for the later years. If the recording notes show one of these LXT only releases to be from the same recording sessions as another SXL stereo release, then the LXT is placed just below the corresponding SXL. The great sounding Argenta National Orchestra of Spain and other Spanish recordings are lumped together with the one Argenta NOS release on SXL.

The rest of the columns are easy, if a little cramped, but you'll quickly make them out their outlines as many cell entries are blank. STS is for London STS Treasury with numbers in the 15000s. Next we have Decca Ace of Daimonds (ACE) followed by the coveted Eclipse (ECS) and "The World of..." SPA releases. We almost forgot Decca Jubilee and their pristine sound floor. The Jubilee JB-xxx (JL-xxxxx for hosers in Canada) will have to be thrown in the the rest of the columns where space permits along with the King Super Analogue tube cut reissues. After the P and S columns (discussed next paragraph), we have Composer, Pieces (with Soloist, if any), Orchestra, and the Conductor trailing off the page. Those on Android may not enjoying viewing the grid on their smart phones, but they'll just have to try some times two magnification goggles.

Our P and S columns are for performance and sound on a ten point scale which is 0 to 9 in order to save space, so a 9 is a perfect score. The rating system will be a bit more discriminating then our normal scale for sound in that we will double are normal rating and subtract 2. That means our 5 will be an 8. Only 5+, or 5.5, or 6 would actually translated to the top rating of 9. For performance the ratings will be double our standard rating less 1.

We'd like to link mini reviews possibly when a recording has not been formally reviewed on the site, but that will not happen immediately until we are confident that our external image hosting is working perfectly (the mini reviews would be stored as images.)

Well, hopefully you are as excited as we are to have this resource online. I am sure it will be coming alive quite rapidly so please check the notify box in the comments section at the bottom of this post to keep up to date. We strongly recommend the use of the notify box on all our post comment sections.

See the pressing legend at the end of the list. For a more compact, but lower resolution view of the covers be sure to visit Youngrok Lee's Decca SXL site. And don't miss his complete Columbia SAX covers.

Pressing Legend (this will only be used for the top pressing, which will have yellow lettering and really it should be taken as just the rated pressing for now):
UNALTERED - this means that the LP is the earliest original pressing.
BOLD - bold lettering if the original is a pancake pressing. Pancakes were only possible for early Decca SXL and London Bluebacks. The pancake pressings are fairly thick and have no lip on the outside edge. Decca did not have enough of the new style stereo pressing equipment so often pressed Opera and sometimes the London Bluebacks on their older mono presses.
GROOVED - an underline means the pressing is an ED2 grooved pressing. All original pressings are grooved, so the underline will differentiate ED2 pressings from these. Early STS and ACE are grooved pressings and will be marked as such always. London Blueback releases have similar grooved large label FFRR reissues also. For Decca SXL ED2 pressings, the label will say "Made in England By" instead of "Original Recording By". Please see our AQL Week Special Report: Decca versus London Pt1 for more pressing details.
NONGROOVED - italics means the pressing does not have a groove in the label, but is still a large style label from the later 1960s. SXL, Blueback, STS, ACE, and possibly ECS may have this discrimination. ED3.
NARROWBAND - strikethrough means the pressing is an early narrow band and on all labels these are very easy to spot in person as the label is typically much smaller with a ridge in the dead wax. ED4. Lithium cooled Neumann SX-69.
LATE NARROWBAND - strikethough italics means the pressing is a late narrow band with a record liner of 'High Density' inner plastic - post 1975 (per reader Tin Ear.) Most of these will be the later lithium cooled Neumann SX-74 masterings with pristine treble past 20k. ED5.
DUTCH - bold italics means the pressing is Dutch from the 80s. ED6. The Jubilee JB-xxx are almost always Dutch with dead silent vinyl and some blackness to background for the Salvatore jet setters (resources section). ED6.

What follows is another 69 or so recordings that Decca did for RCA. Many of these later had the rights go back to Decca in the 1970s and so we have reissues. RCA did Victrola reissues (VICSxxxx entries). The SB and ser entries are the British RCA Living Stereo releases. The SB and ser below are in fact Decca pressings of Decca recordings, hence their inclusion in the Living Decca... Guide:

Note:*

As part of the deal by which Decca took over the UK distribution of R.C.A.

recordings from H.M.V., it was agreed that R.C.A. artists would be recorded by

Decca producers and engineers in Europe. This allowed such conductors as

Reiner, Monteux and Leinsdorf to record with the Vienna Philharmonic and

there were also sessions in Paris and in Italy. Some of these recordings (made

between 1956 and 1964) were Decca owned and reissued on Decca labels from

1970; others (notably those with such soloists as Heifetz, Szeryng, Bream and

Rubinstein) remain on R.C.A. labels. Though Decca ceased to be its distributor

in 1968, R.C.A. continued to engage Decca engineers for many of its London

sessions throughout the 1970s.
