I've seen one such item before and saved the image in 2005.
It shows the record in the orig. sleeve (78 RPM on label & sleeve).
The label size is 1/3 of the record size.
It was listed as 7" vinyl, and is Co(Ar) 1-20048 Trio Los Panchos, Vaya con dios.

>>> Hmmm -- these are odd. This guy has four 7-inch Columbia 78s from 
Argentina on offer on eBay. 7 inch 78s? I looked at his other listing 
and he seems to have a clue but I can't tell if he really means 10 
inch. They are:

Rosemary Clooney - Columbia 1-20.1091
http://cgi.ebay.com/ROSEMARY-CLOONEY-7-DENNIS-PLAYS-78-RPM-ARGENTINA-3-/390195952746

Jo Stafford - Columbia 1-200049
http://cgi.ebay.com/JO-STAFFORD-78-RPM-7-ESPERANDO-ARGENTINA-18186-/370380816872

Tony Bennett - Columbia 1-20.0067
http://cgi.ebay.com/TONY-BENNETT-PLAYS-78-RPM-7-HARAPOS-ARGENTINA-/390195977028

Frankie Laine and Doris Day - Columbia 1-200015
http://cgi.ebay.com/FRANKIE-LAINE-DORIS-DAY-7-QUE-BIEN-HUELE-ARGENTINA-1-/370380798090

Just seems odd. Any thoughts

------------------
Are you sure of the speed? 7-inch Columbia singles had the z-prefix no matter what speed they were recorded at. 33rpm singles have ZLP and there were still fine-groove 78s cut for premiums (I have the Jo Stafford "St. Louis Blues" on both 45 and 78).
