...the second is similar, but says 'Made in England' alone at the top. That label was from 1963-65. Then came the 'Made in England by the Decca Record Company' with a groove, about 1965-1967, and then the same label without a groove, 1968-1970. You will sometimes find the second label in a blueback cover, or the FFSS label in a whiteback.
For RCAs, the big bargain is the plum Victrola. They never used Dynagroove, and nowadays mint stereo copies are amazingly cheap. Of course, some of the Decca-sourced shaded dogs were reissued on London STS and Decca Ace of Diamonds after RCA and Decca broke up in 1967.
I wouldn't bother with the Wing reissues, most of the Merc titles have come down enough that you can just buy originals. Same thing with Columbia six-eye classicals, they are amazingly cheap, as are original Everest silverback stereos.
