As far as 78s go -- the topic here has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. Year of release is more often than not 100% spot on. Month, I give it a 50/50. Actual day of month -- unless taken from record company log books, total guess and myth.

I find it hard for anyone to say with 100% certainty that a particular 78 was released on, say, 20 September 1947. We may know the date it first entered the charts, we may know the day it was recorded, but given the infrastructure of the time to get it into the shops (there was no FedEx/ DHL then) such a pinpointed date is just a guess, IMHO
