[78-L] Newly-pressed Bix Beiderbecke 78

[Al Haug]

Does the track "Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot" on the Moby Grape *Wow* lp
count?  1968, 78 rpm stereo,definitely.
But not exactly "a 78", just one track on an otherwise all-33⅓ rpm record
that plays at 78...
(for those of you unfamiliar with it-The previous track ends with a brief
spoken message from Skip Spence reminding the listener to change the
turntable speed to 78 RPM for the next track*.)*

Nope -- among the late 78s that are stereo you will find Buena by Joe
King Carrasco on Stiff in the UK (CROWN 1) in the 80s. But even
before that Leon Redbone's Alabama Jubilee and Please Don't talk
about Me When I'm Gone (Warner Bros PRO-S-750) was stereo.

It is, however a promo. I'm not sure about the UK Reprise 78 of Tiny
Tim - There'll Always Be an England/ Bless 'em All/ It's A Long Way
to Tipperary on Reprise RS 27004 may be stereo but I don't have it handy
