On the trail of the last RCA Victor 78 in Canada, it was previously thought by me to be Johnny Restivo: I Like Girls on RCA Victor 20-7601. This was from at least September 1959 .. based on the US release date of the 45. BUT -- lo and behold -- I just picked up this little gem:

Les Jérolas: Un Sourire Pour Noel

on RCA Victor 56-5458. The 56 series was for Canada only 78 rpm releases (57 was for 45s) and was used particularly for French language releases from Quebec. Both songs are Christmas related, so I am guessing a release in November or December 1959, making it later than the Johnny Restivo 78.

Also -- Les Jérolas next release was on RCA Victor 57-5467 (Le Village de Sainte-Bernadette), just 9 ticks later, and was in 1960

Anyone have any thoughts

The B-side title is slightly awry - should be "La" instead of "Le"... :wink:

[Edit] That was quick! :thumbsup:

Well spotted!

I did some additional research - -our friend and co-mod leparolier indicates December 1959 here:
