Notes

The Early Beatles - pressed by Decca

According to Bruce Spizer: "Decca pressings have a single ring with a diameter of just under 1" located 5/16" form the spindle hole. The trail off areas have hand etched matrix and lacquer numbers followed by a plant identification letter ("P for Pinckneyville, IL or "G" for Gloversville, NY) For example, the author has a Decca Pickneyville mono pressing of the Early Beatles with T1-2309-T2P hand etched in the trail off area of side one. Some earlier Decca pressings have a 2 3/4 ring in addition to the 1"-diameter ring"
