Decca Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles

Profile

In operation from late 1945 to February 12, 1954. The plant pressed records both for [l=Decca] and its subsidiary [l=Coral]. There also was a recording studio on the plant's premises. As this was the fifth plant Decca operated at the time (there were two in New York, NY and others in Bridgeport, CT and Richmond, IN), pressings from this plant can be identified by a "5" or ⑤ stamped into the runout. Starting in Oct. 1949, Decca pressing plants also placed a star (★) behind the matrix numbers on its B side labels - [b]note that this is not a pressing plant ID for any particular Decca plant.[/b]. A ◈ can also be found on labels with ⑤ in the deadwax.
