London was a Decca label (the name they used for Decca in the USA post WWII) and they also issued Capitol and Brunswick in the early 1950s so I would place the signage as the early to mid-1950s. |

According to Wikipedia Oriole was taken over by US Columbia on 21st September 1964 and Oriole Records was renamed CBS Records in 1965. The last advert I can find for Oriole in The Gramophone is in the December 1964 issue.

My Oriole 78rpm is CB1052 Georgia on My Mind / You're Just The Kind by Frankie Laine.
I think Frankie Laine was released on Philips from about 1952

Good plan, Ed. A local photographer took iconic photos from the early sixties onwards so I hope to find where his Estate have put them.

Lawrence - post #15 - wow! You were right in the middle of the Northern Soul scene and helping in no small way to give it life. What a story and I bet you have amazing memories.
It became a smaller scene in some niche clubs near here in the 90’s revival, but I would have loved to be there back in the day.

One future job for me & my brother is to sort out my Dad's record collection.
