The first recordings they made were as the backing band for Tony Sheridan on Polydor. When they hit out independantly, they were knocked back by a few record companies including Decca and EMI, but were picked up by Parlophone, a subsidiary of EMI that specialised in comedy and off beat type artists.

There are several ways that you can find out how much 78s are worth, do an internet search, you may be able to find some info, but you may not. Check out eBay and if any similar items are for sale or have sold, this may also help, but again you may not find a similar item to yours. Most 78rpm records have little value, the exceptions include 50s Rock 'n' Roll, generally pre 1935 Jazz & Hot Dance, pre 50s Blues and a some pre 30s vocalists, some post but not many. Opera & Classical have the least value, if it dates after 1930 then it's unlikely to have any value at all. If you have heard of the artist then generally it will have virtually no value at all as they will have sold many copies in their day and there will be plenty of discs still in circulation, hence big supply and low demand = low value. Obvious exceptions inclue Elvis, Buddy Holly etc. If it's older records that you have then if they have Fox Trot on then they may have some value, they could be sought after Jazz records or Hot Dance titles, although they may not and may be some mundane dance record. If there are records on the Decca label then if the label catalogue number is under F.7300 then they date from the 1930s, most 40s Decca's have very little value, the most collected UK Decca's are from the early 30s and will have bands such as Roy Fox, Lew Stone etc on them, some may have Al Bowlly on vocals and can be quite valuable, but his name is not always listed on the label so only an expert would know, if they are US Decca's then I have no experience in these. As for the Victors, they are an American label and again it depends who is on them, early victors may have some value, pre 25000 catalogue number and would date before 1934. Condition matters too, if they are worn then value will be limited. It's very hard for somebody who does not have any experience in 78s and older music to find out the value and it would be best to contact a dealer. Record sleeves generally do not have a great deal of value, unless its an unusual one from a rare record label, not a dealers sleeve.

I have an Al Jolson "Decca Album 469' which contains 4 records. Belonged to my grandmother just wondering about the value of these. Excellant condition
Decca Records was created in 1929.
Yes, I have a Decca Records Sterling Holloway set (3 records) "Tells 3 funny stories everyone will like." Decca album number 309 Ferdinand The Bull Horage The Bear And To think I saw it on Mulberry Street
Decca Records when they auditioned.
Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, of "Silence Is Golden" fame. They were local (Dagenham), while the Beatles were from Liverpool in the north, and would have to drive to London for recording sessions.
Decca Records
The Beatles first audition was with Decca records on 1st January 1962. Decca decided not to sign the Beatles.
She is currently a member of Decca Records "Three Graces."
Many of the sets are valued in price close to $15 each. The exact price of the records will depend upon their condition.
Began recording demos in 1954. Signed with Decca in 1956. Formed The Crickets in February, 1957
The tune itself is administered by The Richmond Organization, and the original recording would be handled by Decca.
The hit "Crazy," has been released on several albums and Cd's. I would suggest that you might purchase the Cd, "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits." Not only does it include "Crazy," but, all of Patsy Cline's major hit records. The Cd is a reissue of the LP by the same title that was released on DECCA Records, back in the 1960's. The Cd is on MCA Records (the owner of DECCA Records).
