Like you, I recently found a copy of a RCA shaded dog Sibelius/Heifetz album. I paid under $10 (U.S.) and can attest that it sounds magnificent. Such a passionate performance!
You have a great haul today. Congratulations. Those London records are not American Decca, which is a different label entirely. This is a British Decca, re-labeled for export to North America. Exactly the same pressings as those labeled Decca. Same stampers from the same factories. That London box set with the blue back is a great find. All Londons and British Deccas that have the blue back are early pressings and wide band, whether box or single record.
I actually said in the video that the "American Deccas" are made in England. Yes I am aware of all that thank you. I use the term American Deccas to mean exactly what you say. Maybe there is a better phrase I could have used. Maybe "British Decca's sold under the London label in the USA". That is a mouthful though. I obviously did not mean that Decca make them in the USA as I said they are made in England. Le Nozze Di Figaro would be a great find. That Alceste is worth little.
My best find was a 12' pic disk vinyl with a ufo landing, bought it thou hadnt heard of the group. Following month it was actually in pop chart's Journey Don't stop believing, £1.
i've just dumped a load of vinyl and cd's in my local branch of Oxfam, got to keep the flames going and doing my bit (-: btw using VinylShelter cleaning fluid is very good for reducing static and minor crackles from records, also invest in a goat hair brush and DiscoAntistat cleaning bath, worked great for me for many years. Very envious of your Heifetz find!
the ones i give to Oxfam all have slight faults which i would be reluctant to sell online but would probably suit the beginner looking for cheap bargains, though i do have a job lot of Bruckner symphonies on the 'bay you might be interested in bidding on..? (-:
Fantastic finds,well done subscribed.
Im Drooling.. Carnegie hall...You found a great haul, well done.😊
They always sound brighter before a clean ime !
Westminster. Good label, mostly. I like their tech disclosures given their time...Dynamic Range, frequency response, etc.

Charity shops are just pure luck what donations they have and how quick you get there before someone else spots them.
