Jock Girl already mentioned Fire 1022. But, Ron never heard of it being on a 78 until now. Both Fire 1008 and Fire 1022 are well documented and are supported with images to support existance. While Fannie Mae did come out as 45 in November 1959, the release date of the 78 is widely believed to be after that. Even the 45 of Fire 1022 was 1960 however As to the release on Tico -- that is possible as many 'Latino' labels (including Discos CBS) pressed 78s well into the 190s As far as any others - -such as Atco 6163 -- with no images, or other documentation to support it, apart from one website of dubious quality, I cannot not agree that it exists Amy Amy, As I've said with the Atco, I have the Delta numbers for it. From what I've seen, in most cases, when Monarch pressed a 45 and 78 of the same record, they had sequential numbers across the for sides. The 45 might get 1 & 2 and the 78 would get 3 & 4, or the other way around, or, one might get 1 & 4 and the other 2 & 3, or even a combo of 1 & 3 and 2 & 4. as, in this case, there are only 3 sides sequential and two Deltas separating the 3rd & 4th sequential numbers, that SHOULD prove, at least partially, that the Deltas I have for the 78 are correct, as opposed to somebody just making them up. I just wish SOMEBODY would come forward with a set of the books, if any were kept, from Monarch listing every record they pressed and the Deltas used on each record. Likewise, in this case, with all the records on either speed, that Atlantic released. It seems to me that I have a few 78's on ABC-Paramount that are from the early `60's. It might take a while to find out, because my 78's are all over the house. I've got my 45's and albums organized nicely and shelved, but, I just haven't had the time or space to do the same with the 78's. I started at least twice, but never got very far before I bought or inherited a lot more of them and they never got filtered into the rest of the collection in any kind of order, partly because I started trying to archive them on cassette back in the late `70's and I wanted to keep the ones I already did separate from the ones I didn't get to. I also borrowed my aunt's vast jazz collection (her dad used to own a music store in N. Y., so, she got LOADS of pristine jazz records when they were first released). One of her kids has them, now, so, I no longer have access to them to finish archiving them. My dad had a huge stack of 78's, as well, that I added to the series, and, as he's now dead as of 8 years ago, they're mine, too. Back in the mid `90's, I started making a list of all of my records on floppy disks. All of my albums were on one disk, my 45's had to spread across 3 of them, because I have so many, the whole collection won't fit on one disk, and my 78's were on one disk, but, again, I never got that project finished either. I know where the albums and 45's disks are and, as of last night, copied the albums list over to this hard drive, but, I just can't seem to find the 78's disks!! I kept all of my record disks together in one Fuji disk box, but, the 78's disks (I kept 2 copies of each disk) are gone!! Once I find them, I'll see what my most recently pressed 78's are from the early `60's. I MIGHT have the 78's files on one of my other hard drives, but, it's possible it's one of the ones that died! Also, I have a copy of Disco-File, and the most recent version of Rock Record, so, I'll look up the Atco 78 on those in a bit.
