Mr Jan Richards guides you through the DECCA jungle!

Hello and welcome to my ventures into the fantastic world of Rolling Stones and their vinyl records manufactured in England by THE DECCA RECORD COMPANY way back in the 60’s.

I have been collecting them since the mid 80’s and through the years I have come to realise that there is not just one version existing of Out Of Our Heads. First I got one with a red label.
A while after that I found another one, but this one had a, blue label? Ah, Mono and Stereo! Then I noticed that the red one had a large DECCA text and the blue one had a smaller
DECCA that was kind of in a box. Well, the rest is history as they say.

I have for years been looking around on the net for more information on what actually is existing and what you should look for. But I did not really find anythng so I decided to do it
myself here on our Nordic Stones Vikings homepage.

This is a hugh project that will take years to complete as my intention is to document all elpees made by Decca in the UK during the 60’s. I will slowly add more pages
here and let’s see where I end up.

 One important thing still to remember. The information you will find on these pages are based on my own findings and I cannot guarantee that all info is 100% correct.
There will always be issues that I do not know about and so on, new versions being found etc. So, if you find any wrong information here or if you have additions, please do get in
touch with me. Whatever comments you have are always welcome. Well, enjoy

And by the way, there are a few collectors out there that has helped me with information. Especially I would like to thank Mr JR ”stones relic” in The States
and Vanni in Italy for their contribution.
