This was one of the very last Philips 78's issued in February 1958.

Philips were the last UK company to START issuing 45's beginning
in January 1958 and amongst the very first to STOP issuing 78's at about
the same time.

I was there and probably did the label copy for this record!

Columbia 4-41001 containing "It's Magic" & "Nola" was scheduled for release
on September 23 1957 but cancelled on September 12 1957 although a few 
promotional
copies were pressed before being totally recalled.
