jll_259 5th Aug 2024		Looks like the two known copies are exactly the same label wise. If you compare the Wouldn´t You Know labels they have the same markings and shadows around the spindle hole, the same dots/ink spots in the same places and so on. I guess it´s the same record being pictured with other photographing skills.



Moon Kat 17th Jul 2024		Two known copies now



jll_259 24th Apr 2024		@Hanco Bol That´s definitely a gem you´re having! As far as I know SUN pressed in runs/batches of 300 records for 45 rpm singles before the mother stampers were worn out. Not sure how many you could go for with 78 rpm. It would make no sense to press only one single 78, in my eyes. I cannot imagine Sam Phillips did that because it is not economically. Sam was all about making money back then. If there is one there must be more...but that´s just my guess.



Hanco Bol 1st Apr 2024		@jll_259 I posted #289 in the Facebook group at that time and purchased the record later that year. It is most likely the only one known on 78.



jll_259 14th Nov 2023		Okay, I am not so sure anymore...! Exciting to see that this one exists on a 78, how many could be out there in the wild?



Antoon Van Olderen SUBS 13th Nov 2023		This previously unknown Sun 78 turned up in a Facebook group in June 2023. I added the image to validate the entry.



Mike Gann 1st Nov 2023		Yes, that is what happens when members make entries with no evidence.



jll_259 1st Nov 2023		I am sure that this was never issued as a 78!
