[78-L] 1960s 78s

[DAVID BURNHAM]

What are the latest 78s sitting in the collections of this list's expert members? Any bets on the last US 78, the last world 78? I've heard rumors of a Beatles 78 from India, as late as 1968 -- anyone seen it?

We've been down this road before.  The most recent 78, mass produced by a major record label, (AFAIK), was the acoustic 78 produced by EMI of Roberto Alagna in, (I think), 1997.  I know this isn't what one is looking for when they speak about the latest 78 rpm record but it does fit all of the criteria, except that it was vinyl, not shellac, but most 78s from the 50s weren't shellac either.
