The industry for making 78s was probably not so large and global as for 45s, but I'm thinking 10-20 million for 45s around the world.

So far the only parts of the world that are well represented here are Western Europe, North America and Australia/NZ. Imagine we could have front pages in the major Indian languages, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Javanese and started getting significant contributions from these lands. Front pages in Spanish and Portuguese would also expand our reach in South America.

That's a lot! I think less, maybe 2-3 million. It feels like 45cat is starting to get there in terms of being complete. I think the reason the countries you mention are underrepresented is because there was much less vinyl output. I hope I'm wrong though, would love to see 10 million new unknown records!
