Issued on 78 rpm and 45 rpm DB 4275 in March 1959.
Barry Kendall/ June Lowe's version on Embassy and Bert Weedon's on Top Rank 
were also issued in both formats.
This was still the rule in the UK. Very few British labels had cancelled the 
78 rpm format in 1959; some recordings were still issued on 78 rpm only.
Philips, BTW, was the last company to offer the 45 rpm format in Britain. 
That happened as late as January 1958.
