fixbutte 2nd Jul 2022		Thanks, Break-In Master, for your comment. Unfortunately too late for mickey rat though because he passed away in early December 2021 (from the 45cat mod board).



Break-In Master 2nd Jul 2022		Mickey, it says, "Swallow Records" right on the label. I guess it was "licensed" to them by Swallow.

Penrose 7th Aug 2017		I had this record but let it go in 1990. I did not realise its value. I worked at cloake s records in croydon in the mid 70s and we got a couple for stock in the bargain basement. I think they came with a lot of import records one time . That red pattern was the original cover. Great music.



mister_tmg 10th Feb 2017		That would explain its high value and rarity. I guessed it would have been pressed as a gimmick. It looks like a regular release though.



xiphophilos 9th Feb 2017		I did a bad job of summarizing what the Billboard article says and even got the number of copies wrong: "Apple has ordered between 2-300 copies of the 78 rpm record which will be used for promotional purposes only." So even though the label scans above look as if this was a stock record, I think that all the 200-300 copies in existence were promos. I assume this means only well-connected people even managed to get hold of one.



mister_tmg 9th Feb 2017		But this is a stock copy, no?



okun69 9th Feb 2017		Hey,Xiphophilos I think you mean 2-300 promo copies were produced.



xiphophilos 9th Feb 2017		2-3,000 copies of this Apple 78 were produced as part of Phil Specter's "Back To Mono" campaign, see Billboard, November 25, 1972, p. 43.



W.B.lbl 28th Feb 2013		Alas, the U.S. release (Apple 1852) had no corresponding 78 RPM equivalent.



roboleyton 28th Feb 2013		My one and only contribution to 78rpm World.



JPGR&B SUBS 28th Feb 2013		Thanks Rob for adding images. I hoped someone out there would have this - I might have guessed you would given your other great contributions to 45cat.com.



KeithS SUBS ● 25th Jan 2013		Seems Ringo Starr was a big fan - http://www.jpgr.co.uk/col_apple44.html



mickey rat 25th Jan 2013		I have to confess that unlike almost everybody else in the world I paid little attention to the Beatles and/or what Apple Records was up to so I'm sure I'm the only one here who doesn't know the history of this record. I have however had a longtime affection for Louisiana music in general and it seems to me that this came from Floyd Soileau's Swallow label in Ville Platte. If so, how so?



roboleyton 25th Jan 2013		The Matrix in the deadwax reads Apple 78 44 A-1U/B-1U



zabadak 24th Jan 2013		Hmmm... I would've thought it would say "78" somewhere on the label...
