Because I am such a nut about 78s, I have some items to I hope to find/ have on 78. It is sort of my 78 rpm bucket list. They may be things that don't actually exist.

My list includes:

The Spotnicks -- gotta be a 78 of something by them in maybe India, South America or the Philippines

The Honeycombs - Have I the Right -- Could there be a 78 on Pye in the Philippines?

Helen Shapiro - Walking Back to Happiness -- it does exist on an Odeon 78

Alma Cogan -- any US 78 on RCA -- not sure if one exists

Anne Shelton - Lay Down Your Arms - a 78 on US Columbia - it does exist but I've seen one

Gene Pitney - Town Without Pity -- does exist on a Musicor 78 from the Philippines

Oh Neil - Carole King -- Maybe in South America?

Marty Robbins -- El Paso -- there is a 78 on CBS in South Africa

Baker Knight and Knightmares - Bring My Cadillac Back -- US Decca - it does exist

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini -- Brian Hyland -- exists in Brazil

Banjo Boy - Jan And Kjeld -- maybe somewhere - South Africa

That's my list

Any one know if some of the iffy ones exist?

That'd sound amazing as a 78.

Given that most of wants are high value items, I do have some that are more reasonable. Being the strange little girl (hmmm- wasn't that a song by the Stranglers) that I am-- I am out to collect every variety on 78 rpm of both Piove (Ciao Ciao Bambina), and Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volaré) by Domenico Modugno -- the Eurovision biggies.

Naturally -- it s partly because I am a Eurovision nut -- but also because it is a silly thing to do -- and I am all for silly

So far -- of the 9 records here (http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/artist/domenico-modugno)-- I own 8. I have a new one coming so that will make it 9 out of 10 when it arrives

Oh what fun
