Decca was adventurous for its time, not afraid to put out the then current generation of folk revivalists. Burl Ives, the Weavers. Marais & Miranda, Richard Dyer-Bennet, Josh White... all Decca alumni. Alan Lomax issued some of those early LPs (such as Josh's) in a folk music series presumably following on from his radio shows in NYC.

Not to mention the fabulous 30s when the fledgling Decca label had 78s bt everybody from the Carter Family and many another country act to innumerable bluesmen such as Sleepy John Estes and Brownsville Son Bonds.

Decca really died in '68 when MCA buried it. But it will indeed be missed.
