Minimum 8 logos (1929-2021) - [Logos.Fandom.com] .
For more Decca-logos (36) see the pictures on: [www.Discogs.com] .

Interesting set of logos "exilestones"
Not only has the logo changed a lot through the years but you can find so many different labels as well. I have not only collected Stones on Decca but a lot of other music on UK Decca. The labels can also sometimes be connected to a production process, just like the Phase 4 Stereo mentioned above.
One thing that I had wondered about for years is why Satanic and Big Hits mono has light blue labels and stereo has green labels, when all other Stones Decca records from the time are red/ blue.
Well, I found out from one gentleman who worked at the production line back in the day. The light blue / green labels are on records pressed with "virgin vinyl". Kids pop music like The Them or The Stones got pressed with lower quality re-used vinyl and then the red/ blue labels!

The "virgin vinyl" was new fresh vinyl in "puck" that they put in the pressing machine. You can see from some old videos on you-tube that when pressing the puck into a record, you will have some surplus material coming out and then cut loose by a cutting edge. This surplus waste material was not thrown in the garbage bin but melted down again and reused for "pop records"
I have also seen some pictures of a pile of records that never got so far that they left the factory. Some faulty production perhaps. These records were also melted down and the vinyl was reused, again for "pop-records"
