[78-L] Late US Decca 78 on eBay

[David Lennick]

Ruppli isn't much help here, noting the last "possible" 78 issue as 30364. 
Obviously they went on much longer, and still higher in Canada. The highest C&W 
number in Ruppli is 46407 (Autry Inman) and the last R&B 48337 (Sister Rosetta 
Tharpe). No point citing Coral or Brunswick high numbers since they're barely 
noted and Canada got The Crickets and The McGuire Sisters on 78 for quite a 
long time.

But the Shirelles on 78 is amazing to begin with.
