Hi mister-tmg. OK, can be possible, that i have watched that copy exactely, but I didn´t get it.
So what. That´s life.
OK, I own a Philippines The Searchers PYE-78-rpm record with a light blue label and with the song Money on it. I bought it in Germany, too, from a guy for lower than 200 Euro.
He also sold other Philippines 78-rpm-records from The String-A-Longs, from Dee Dee Sharp and from The Carrol Brothers, which I also could get for small money. A little miracle.
That guy told me, that he had the big chance in the 1990s to visit the Philippines to do business there with old 78-rpm jukeboxes and with such 78-rpm records. Yes, I´m of the opinion that he was there for the right time for buying such records and record-machines very cheap, but I think today the chance is no more given to grab pristine copies or something like that.
@ 78rpm-maniac - On Ebay at time of writing (27 Jan. 2023) : THE SEARCHERS - 78 RPM - PHILIPPINES - SINCE YOU BROKE MY HEART - MONEY - 1963 (''Buy Now'' for £560, plus postage from Germany) ... I've seen a couple of other Philippines PYE 78s with typed labels pasted on. Both blue labels and pink. Seems the company had a hard time getting it right!
@ 78rpm-maniac - I think it was ''Catch Us If You Can''. (Indians loved their cinema!)
(In the summer of 1977 Vintage Record Centre in London was offering Beatles 78s at £100 each. I went there but they were all gone.)
I'm avidly (or ''obsessively'', says my wife) searching for late 78s and I can definitely state ''Hey Jude'' doesn't exist - (ridiculous idea, since there is also no sign of anything from two years earlier, though I did once read that ''Yellow Submarine'' was on 78 - I still doubt it. People's memories are not so reliable. No sign of anything from Sgt. Pepper or Magical Mystery Tour and no certainty about ''Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da'' so, ''Hey Jude''? I think that 12'' white label acetate was absolutely a fake. Anyone with the relevant equipment could have made that any time. Or pasted typed labels onto anything.)
Best, latest, I've found so far is Desmond Dekker, 1967. African I think.
(I have seven Kitty, Daisy & Lewis 78s to add (plus possibly three more if they're not already in). Someone please send me instructions?)
Hmm, and what about other Beat-artists in India on 78 rpm??
A few years ago, I watched an Indian Dave Clark Five 78-rpm record on green-silver Columbia-label from India, but I didn´t win the bid-battle. According to my knowledge, it was a real bargain in comparison with those Beatles releases, about under 200 Euro. Damn.
What do the India-78-rpm experts say to the possible existence of other Beat-artists, like Herman´s Hermits on Columbia, Peter and Gordon on Parlophone, Dave Clark Five is known, but I forgot the title of the song, Manfred Mann, The Troggs, The Hollies, Swinging Blue Jeans, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Freddie and the Dreamers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Rolling Stones, The Tornadoes, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, Them, Beach Boys, Casey Jones and the Governors, and so on and so on.
The problem is that no one has ever actually seen as many as 34 Indian Beatles 78s. Our database currently lists 30, and four of these are questionable. Basically, even India seems to have released The Beatles on 78s only until 1966.
Hi. By the time of this release, spring 1965, only India was releasing 78s and no longer doing so in the Philippines. India continued 78 releases into late 1968. Possibly Including While my guitar gently weeps!! Expensive collectibles. There are at least 34 India Beatles Parlophone singles on 45. Perhaps the same number on 78. Imagine having that whole set!!
