Decca vs London?

To my knowledge you are correct. Usually I've preferred the Decca pressings as being more quiet at playback. Many Londons seemed to me to have a harshness, which the Deccas hadn't. Just my 2cents.

pretty much. original pressings of u.s. london's from the sixties are comparable to decca in terms of quality.

Not exactly.London was formed because of the split ownership of UK and US Decca.London was able to release US label material in the UK which could not be labeled Decca.London is a UK corporation (or was).A Decca UK LP doesn't necessarily have a London Records counterpart.Check the Stones early Decca releases vs. London.Decca US was started in the early 30s releasing Country and Western.Later they made Soundtrack and Original Casts a major part of their catalog.Check Wikipedia on both these labels.A short fascinating read did I mention Deram?The unipivot?One of my personal faves Delia Derbyshire?

Thanks. Actually the early Stones is what I was wondering about. I have found Let It Bleed on both Decca and London labels, and was wondering which one to snatch up.....
