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

[Glenn Longwell]

Yes, Columbia 40759 is on US 78.  I have it.  Just picked it up a couple weeks ago in a small collection.

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. 
40759 also on both.

Quality 1833: label image available. States: By Arr'mt. with Laurie Records.

Prob. Mer 71181 is on 78, since 71180 is.
There 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 only 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 time so I dunno.

Lonnie Donegan was probably on a Canadian Pye pressing. Mercury 71181 is 1957, derfinitely within the 78 framework for Canada, but I've never seen Lonnie on Canadian (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.
