I have heard that they actually sound just right when played at 78, 
depending upon the pharmaceuticals consumed

This has been something that I have been trying to unearth for years.

Given that the big British companies, Pye and EMI, all had 78s issued 
in usual places (India, Philippines, South America) during the 
'British Invasion' era, it would seem that Decca would be in that 
pack. They are conspicuously absent though. In fact, the only Decca 
78 RPM of 'british beat' stuff I've ever seen was a Brazilian 78 of 
Telstar by the Tornados, and that is pushing the envelope as it is 
1962, and it can be argued that the Tornados aren't really a part of 
that genre. So, I have never seen any 1964-ish Decca artist on 78.
