Madame Streggae 24th Mar 2024		78 RPM Alma Cogan - Willie Can / Lizzie Borden (1956)	Doesn't look to have got a release on 45, which surprises me. The blue 78 is notable for its lack of writer and orchestral credits, which drew my attention to it.
Madame Streggae 8th Aug 2023		78 RPM Lonnie Donegan - My Old Man's A Dustman (Ballad Of A Refuse Disposal Officer) / The Golden Vanity (1960)	Copy on e-bay now about the seventy quid mark (assuming not the same one from March 2018!). Speaking as a non-78 collector, I'd be interested to know how many were pressed. Although it sold in the hundreds of thousands, I can't image there were that many asking for the 78, and by the time it came out there can't have been more than a relative handful of titles available in the format.
Madame Streggae 17th Sep 2020		78 RPM The Diamonds - Faithful And True / Little Darlin' (1957)	I was given a box type wind-up around 1968 and it came with two 78s: Johnny Ray's 'Yes Tonight Josephine' and Lonnie's 'Cumberland Gap' on shellac, so I assume the punter had a choice between shellac and vinyl. My mother had the vinyl copy.
