[78-L] 1959 78 rpm Columbia acetate

[David Lennick]

It wouldn't surprise me if they still used *lacquers* for reference copies well 
past the 1957 cutoff for 78s. And I've seen film playback discs that were 78 
lacquers as late as "They Shoot Horses, Don't They". Ten-inch lacquers were 
also used to cut 45RPM masters and may still be.

The Canadian Columbia 78s continued to be pressed from parts supplied by CBS 
and weren't dubs, unlike Compo and Victor and Quality and Sparton (denks gott). 
Hell, many of the 78s we got in the later years were not only dubs, they were 
dubs from 45s, not even tape masters.

I know that there were no 78 rpm issues on U.S. Columbia after 1957, although they continued in Canada through at least part of 1960. Does anyone know how late 78 acetates were made by U.S. record companies?
