No...they never were! US Decca was simply named after the UK label...which
MAY
have provided some financial assistance...?!

US Decca was mainly created with the help of Jack Kapp, who had been the
main
"A&R man" for Brunswick...and who brought quite a number of Brunswick
artists
with him into the new operation! UK Decca did issue a number of US Brunswick
sides.
