[78-L] last 78s on Hot 100

[Kristjan Saag]

What's interesting is that Latin 78's were produced in the US even in 
the late 1960's and , if Billboard would have started it's Latin Chart 
at that time, surely would have had 78's in it.
See, for instance the article "Secco Licences Richmond" in Billboard, 
March 23 1968:
