seanbss 4th Sep 2023		78 RPM Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue / Everyday (1957)	I believe this was the last 78 issued on Vogue Coral in the UK before it became Coral. That is probably where the confusion has arisen as initial batches were issued in November 1957 on Vogue Coral and later represses from later in the month into December and beyond were in Coral.
seanbss 1st Jun 2021		78 RPM Kalin Twins - When / Three O'Clock Thrill (1958)	mister_tmg 5th Mar 2016: Same variant fonts as on Decca 78s, so that probably shows they were pressing Brunswick too. That’s probably because Decca “owned” U.K. Brunswick, Coral, London and RCA amongst others…and thus their plants pressed records for these companies during this period. This is also why the sleeves for these companies follow the same pattern too.
seanbss 26th Oct 2020		78 RPM Frankie Laine - You're Just The Kind / Georgia On My Mind (1951)	1st issue was on black and gold label.
seanbss 14th Oct 2020		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - A Mess Of Blues / The Girl Of My Best Friend (1960)	I believe that they were special order from Decca (who also pressed up London and RCA) by 1960...although Embassy (Woolworths) actually pressed them up into 1961.
seanbss 26th Jan 2020		78 RPM Kokomo Arnold - Milk Cow Blues / Old Original Kokomo Blues (1934)	The Elvis Presley version is actually called, "Milkcow Blues Boogie" NOT "Milkcow Boogie Blues" as erroneously referenced by fixbutte...Ricky Nelson and Eddie Cochran also covered the song - Ricky in a style similar to Elvis' definitive rockabilly version and Eddie in more of a rock 'n' roll style.
seanbss 27th Dec 2019		78 RPM The Platters - The Great Pretender / Only You (And You Alone) (1956)	As the disc labels state, both sides were featured in the movie “Rock Around The Clock”. So maybe that has something to do with what was effectively a double A-side release...
