[78-L] 'Modern' 78s.

[Milan P Milovanovic]

I would like to add that other record labels in other European countries 
during 1950s used vinyl as regular material or additional material to press 
78s matrices to, so there are identical records pressed in vinyl as well as 
in shellac (some examples were even in translucent colored vinyl).
