[78-L] New 78s (yes that sorta topic again!)

[Royal Pemberton]

One I've heard of, but never seen or heard:

Apple 44 (10" vinyl 78, issued in UK only):  'Saturday nite special' b/w
'Valse de soleil coucher' ('Sundown waltz') by the Sundown Playboys, from
1972.  Labels state 'A Swallow Records Production'.
