In Reply to: RE: One of the biggest overlooked gems of the Lp era IMHO is de la Rocha/Burgos on Decca, both as a recording and posted by Rockethead26 on May 21, 2012 at 07:03:10:
There is much controversy among LP collectors as to the relative merits of Decca and London LPs. Decca could not use its name in the U.S., but their London LPs that were sold in the U.S. were also made by them in England (and later in Holland). Some (on the 'net notably Arthur Salvatore) argue that Decca LPs are not necessarily any better than, or even any different from, London LPs.
EMI and Angel is a different story, since EMI decided to have its American LPs manufactured in the U.S. by Capitol starting in 1957.
So if the Decca version is too expensive, try the London version.
