Note this is a larger copy of the photo used for the ad.
Decca Records didn't mark this ad as copyrighted; the Billboard copyright is not valid for the ads in the publication.
There are no copyright marks on the full pages of the ad, as can be seen at the link above. The page is clearly an advertisement, so it is not a part of any magazine copyrights.
"A notice for the collective work will not serve as the notice for advertisements inserted on behalf of persons other than the copyright owner of the collective work. These advertisements should each bear a separate notice in the name of the copyright owner of the advertisement."
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
