Chas Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 That Brownie-Roach record is not a 78 . Quote

Stereojack Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 well what about the other part to my q about the latest jazz 78s pressed.....does anyone remember getting them as late as 59? The latest US 78 I've seen is "Fannie Mae", by Buster Brown, released in early 1960 on the Fire label. Major labels such as RCA & Columbia ceased pressing 78's around 1957. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Over here the last "regular" production/marketing year for 78s war 1958. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Posted October 12, 2008 stereojack: what were the last issued 78s in 1957 by those particular labels you mentoined? i am interested in figuring this out- thankx for yr help..... Quote
Stereojack Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 I can't say (don't know) which ones were actually last. I've seen "All Shook Up" by Elvis Presley (spring 1957). Can't recall ever seeing any RCA 78's later than that. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 In 1966 when I moved to Chicago and worked for the Jazz Record Mart, the RCA catalog listed a bunch of Mexican music available on 78s. They must have had these presses running somewhere. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Posted October 13, 2008 the lock nessa monster brings up a good point: after 78s died in the states, the major labels still continued for a while to press them for their other markets, namely the third world markets where electricity was in short supply or non existent. The most famous example of this are the Beatles 78's that were pressed for India, Argentina, & the Phillipines Quote
