The Original Hit Performances! Into The Fifties

Little White Lies
The Original Hit Performances!
Into The Fifties
The Music Goes 'Round And Around
Decca Records DL 4003
1959

From the back cover: Decca began operations in August, 1934 – in the midst of a nation-crippling depression – with the single purpose of bringing America the variety and quality of recorded entertainment it wanted to hear. Within a few short years, Decca presented to an ever-growing audience, such great talents as Bing Crosby, Guy Lombardo, Al Jolson, Jimmie Lunceford, the Dorsey Brothers, the Andrew Sisters, Mills Brothers, Judy Garland, Deanne Durbin, Victor Young, the Boswell Sisters and countless others. The first significant hit record was, symbolically, The Music Goes 'Round And Around, played by the Riley-Farley Orchestra.
