[78-L] Last Canadian Columbia 78

[Han Enderman]

This was discussed on 78-L in 2005 and I saved the following info, so we would know forever:

"What is the latest catalog # for 78s on the Canadian Columbia label? Were 
the 1958 and '59 issues all country music or were there some pop issues thrown 
in as well?

Five Blobs is 41250. Waterloo is 41393. I asked because I just got a copy of 
"Five Feet High & Rising"/"I Got Stripes" by Johnny Cash which is 41427 and 
charted beginning in August 1959. That's the latest one I've seen; the Horton 
(Battle of New Orleans) is 41339. 
Cary Ginell"

>>> It charted in August '59 (must have been a slow summer). That's one I've never 
seen on 78.
