[78-L] Joe Meek related 1950s 78s - USA and Canada

[rockined1 at aol.com]

His biggest American hit was his production of Telstar by the Tornadoes. <Meek was a strange character. He supposedly even freaked out Phil Spector [if that's at all possible]-
there is a documentary about him on You Tube


I don't know who is Joe Meek

I don't know who is Joe Meek (but then I checked Wikipedia .... ooh how useful), 
but here is some info on 78 series (from label images):
Co 40758 & -62/69 were on US 78s, and 40704 & -69 on Canadian 78s, thus pres. 
0759 also on both.
Quality 1833: label image available. States: By Arr'mt. with Laurie Records.
Prob. Mer 71181 is on 78, since 71180 is.
here were also Canadian Mercurys, for ex. 71132 & -209 (made by Quality).
Cap: F-prefix used for 45s. Canadian 78s common to over nr 4000. Late US 78s 
nly for hits.
London 1834 seems to late for a 78 (last 78 image I have is 1755).

>> Mike Preston was on London in Canada but we were getting 45 promos by that 
ime so I dunno.
Lonnie Donegan was probably on a Canadian Pye pressing. Mercury 71181 is 1957, 
erfinitely within the 78 framework for Canada, but I've never seen Lonnie on 
anadian (or US) Mercury..it could even still have been on Quality.
I think I've seen the Anne Shelton on Canadian Columbia 78.
Johnny Duncan on Capitol is adjacent to Stan Freberg's "Wun'erful, Wun'erful 
3815) and would have been released on 78 here.

 I'm am trying to document Joe Meek related recordings on 78. I know 
 that there are a whole whack available in the UK. That'll be fairly 
 easy to acquire and document. Its when I get to releases outside the 
 UK, particularly the USA and Canada, that I need some help.
 
 Anne Shelton - Lay Down Your Arms - Philips PB 616 in the UK
 USA: Columbia 40759 -- this was no doubt a 78
 Canada: same as USA?
 
 Chris Barber's Jazz Band - Petite Fleuer - Pye Jazz NJ 2026 in the UK
 USA: Laurie 3022 -- no 78
 Canada: Quality 1833 - this was a 78
 
 Lonnie Donegan & his Skiffle Group - Puttin' on the Style - Pye Nixa 
 N 15093 in the UK
 USA: Mercury 71181 - did this make it as a 78?
 Canada: London ?
 
 Johnny Duncan & his Blue Grass Boys - Last Train to San Fernanado 
 Columbia DB 3959 in the UK
 USA: Capitol F3814 - too late for a US release on 78? I'm guessing it is
 Canada: Capitol F3814 - probably a 78 there
 
 Mike Preston - A House A Car and A Wedding Ring - Decca F 11053 in the UK
 USA: London 1834 -- too late for a 78?
 Canada: London ?
 
 Can anyone help me determine if there were USA or Canadian 78s of these
