[78-L] Mon Collecion incluye les 78s de Quebec!

[Taylor Bowie]

One Japanese record that still turns up around Seattle in huge quantities is 
"Tokyo Boogie-Woogie b/w the somewhat suggestive-sounding title "My Dear 
Little Box."  It's on a  Columbia and is post-war,  I assume...I kind of 
like it but have wondered why it's so common here.  I recall one time 
finding a stack of  new copies in sleeves at  Salvation Army ca. 1975.

As I have traveled and otherwise collected, I have sought out foreign
language versions of English language hits.  I've found Hungarian
versions of Little Richard and Elvis hits, Finnish versions of Rosemary
Clooney's hits, Russian versions of Glenn Miller hits, Xmas caroles in
Chinese, trucker songs in German (On the Road Again is turned into Auf
die Autobahn), etc.  One of the most famous 78s of foreign language hits
was Tokyo Shoe Shine Boy which I have, and was re-created in the
soundtrack of the original movie M*A*S*H.
