Oh yes - I knew that. I have some great 1980s Czech and Slovak language cover versions of western hits on Supraphon 45s (seeing as I am Slovak -- BTW).
After the fall of communism, a lot, all maybe, of their pop stuff got released on CD on Bonton with is somehow a part of Sony, I think. Bonton has a large shop in Prague that I have been
What I meant was how long 78s lasted.
I am guessing other Eastern European labels with 78s would be
Balkanton - Bulgaria
Amiga and Eterna - GDR
Qualiton - Hungary
Electrecord - Romania
Jugoton and the various RTV labels -- Yugoslavia
Pronit - Poland

Jock_Girl - Can I bring a related topic to your attention: On 45cat Forums Jiri Tieftrunk is trying to identify some songs that were covered in Czech versions in the 60s and 70s, starting with this one
Follow the YT link for the others, or see 45cat Forum where you will also see details of his weekly radio show :Oldies aneb Historie z cerných drážek, which airs on Sundays, after the 5pm news (CET)
