 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | I am wondering if there is any way a list can be created to specifically document the last regular issue/ non-speciality market 78 for any given label/ country combo? It would have to be that as a new release is discovered that is later than one in the list it could be added as a replacement. Excluded would be the Rhino re-issues, Record Store Day stuff, kiddie records, and stuff like Buena on Stiff, etc that were one off specialty items Maybe this is even better as a forum topic than a list My nominees are: Last 78 in USA and for Fire records Fire 1022 - Bobby Marchan - There's Something On Your Mind Part 2 - June 1960 http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/1022&rc=1300#1300 Last 78 in USA for Columbia records Columbia 41193 - Johnny Mathis - A Certain Smile- June 1958 no image Would love to know the end of the line for Decca, Capitol, RCA, and Dot Edited by moderator on 7th Aug 2015, 8:26 AM |

 | Scratchy45 In Revived 45s, disinterred 33&1/3s, saved 78s Member since Jul 2011 771 Points | Similarly for the CCCP - I saw a forum post elsewhere suggesting that 78s had to be produced there for 10 years after the last date of manufacture of equipment to play them. Can anyone confirm this? |

 | KeithS SUBS Member since Dec 2009 12385 Points Moderator | I have a low res picture of what was supposed to be the last 78 in the US. Sue 800 Bobbi Bolden "Chie-O-La Man/Need Me Tonight " from 1963 It was recognised that certain customers would not take kindly to the demise of the 78...Hillbillys in shacks up in the mountain with no electricity and the poorer of the Black Community with the same electricity problem so I would guess that music specially in those categories must have been produced right up to the end on 78's in limited quantities Edited by moderator on 24th Jan 2013, 7:05 AM |

I have seen that record also, but according to Jerry Osborne it ain't so. Seems that it is actually from 1957 -- an out of sequence number. See this webpage. Bobbi Bolden - Sue 800 Edited by Jock_Girl on 24th Jan 2013, 1:06 PM |

| KeithS SUBS Member since Dec 2009 12385 Points Moderator | Tony I see your last Capitol is 15095. Pelletiers book shows 45/78 issues slowing down around 14854 and after this ony few selected releases come out on 78's and the last one he has listed is 15101 Fred Waring in 1959 Edited by privatecitizen on 1st Mar 2013, 2:43 PM |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Re Warner Bros. WB.1 was not the last, although it was the first  WB.19 (Lucille/ So Sad) was possibly the last. http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/wb19 Image nicked from Record Collector mag  |

 | Tony P Member since Feb 2011 1497 Points | The New Records don't list 15101 as a 78. I'll look later in the Gramophone Catalogue. http://i.imgur.com/lbpNX.jpg Edited by tony p on 1st Mar 2013, 2:59 PM |

| KeithS SUBS Member since Dec 2009 12385 Points Moderator | I wonder what logic was involved when Record companies still decided to release a odd 78 version now and then when the new 45 was already the popular medium. Transport costs and breakages were much less so goobye and good riddance- yet they still were forced to release the odd couple here and there. Was it for their Juke-box customers who still had 78 machines??? |

I'd think it was to maximise profit. After having sold a record to the 1 jillion record buyers who can play 45s, they wanted to get product into the hands of those who couldn't play 45 and couldn't afford to replace their equipment. This would only be done for a proven seller or artist. |

| Tony P Member since Feb 2011 1497 Points | The New Records does not list these Decca, Coral, Warner Bros or Capitol records as 78's. I have found the Capitol record CL15101 listed as a 78 in the Gramophone Title index but not in the artist index. To me it appears that if Decca Group found a 45 version of a record was selling well in some cases they would issue a 78 version. |

 | Whyperion SUBS Too Many Records , Too Little Time Member since Jan 2013 306 Points | Maybe a question would be when would New Records stop listing 78s , if record co's were issuing retailer sheets or making it known 78s were to order , New Records would not bother noting this as the 45 was the main seller. |
