[78-L] New (to me) contemporary 78

[Kristjan Saag]

Folk band A Hawk & A Hacksaw (From New Mexico) released a single, "Foni Tu 
Argite" from their new album as a 500 copy, limited edition, hand-numbered 
10", cut at 78rpm.
It was issued on April 28, 2009.
And, taken into account that several record factories offer 78 rpm cut, 
there are probably later issues around.
