    French Decca LPs

    Someone on an audiophile was asking about French Decca lps,circa 1977, that apparently are fetching extortionate prices on the resale market. I thought Decca manufactured their albums in the U.K. Does anyone have any insight here?

      Possibly the best transfer yet issued of this recording, originating from the Vega stable in 1962. The French Dacca LP release dates from the early 1970s, having been released a little earlier in Japan (1971).

        The only ones I recall were of Gregorian chant from Solesmes. They had a different look and feel: thick card sleeves etc. I assumed Decca had a French subsidiary as EMI did. Nowadays of course Decca is just another Universal label used to reissue Philips recordings now Universal no longer use the 'Philips' name (e.g. Alfred Brendel).
