[78-L] US Columbia 78 in 1964 -- revisited

[Han Enderman]

I have a few label images of Discos Columbia, in range 9157 - 9710.
9157-A is "Esclavo y Amo" by Javier Solis, mx 0101-8852, recd ca. 1962.
9242-A/-B is Trio Los Panchos "Nunca/Presentimiento", mx 0101-8525/43, recd 1961.
Note that these issues have A/B sides 
(whereas 9392 "Media Vuelta" mx 0101-10350 and later 78s have no side designation).
9710 is "La Noche de mi Amor" 0101-12179, recd 1965.

The latest recording year would be pres. 1966 (derived from Trio Los Panchos discografia) for 
9686 Javier Solis: "Se Te Olvida" - mx 0101-12560.

Well, nobody said 'boo' about this, so I'll bring it up again. I just 
got my hands on a US Columbia 78, made in the USA for the USA, pressed in 1964.

The actual label is Discos Columbia, which was Columbia's latin 
division. They licensed the name to a company in Miami called, 
appropriately, Miami Records.

Articles in Billboard as late as 1965 show that Miami Records was 
still pressing 78 even then for the latino market in states:

http://books.google.com/books?id=UykEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA31&dq=%22miami+records%22+78&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0&as_pt=MAGAZINES&cd=1#v=onepage&q=%22miami%20records%22%2078&f=false

As to the record -- its Discos Columbia 9400 - Advertencia b/w Pa' 
Todo el Ano by Trio Los Panchos. The label is purple and says "Discos 
Columbia" under magic notes (though don't say magic notes). The label 
copy says "Manufactured in the U.S. by Miami Records under license 
from Columbia Records".

In reviewing sessions for Trio Los Panchos, these tracks were 
recorded in 63 and 64.

So -- it sort of is a US Columbia 78, and it sort of isn't. But -- 
just as important, its a very late US 78 that blows the 1960 releases 
by Buster Brown and Bobby Marchand out of the water from the date standpoint.
