Re Orbison's disc, I am wondering if London records exported masters to South africa or if SA made their own from tapes. If the London office exported the master [mother discs there is a very slim chance that the UK factory may have made 78rpm test pressings of Only the Lonely?
There are two different SA pressings, funnily enough. One doesn't seem to mention South Africa, but the other says "Made in South Africa by arrangement with the Decca Record Co. Ltd. England." The disc is discussed here. Who knows if there could be test 78s made in the UK, it's possible.
