[78-L] Dating two late Canadian RCA 78s

[Dan Van Landingham]

I had two Atlantic LPs,one of the Coasters themselves,the other a Rock and Roll 
anthology of Atlantic 

rock and roll/rhythm and blues hits.Both had "Charlie Brown" which was from 1959 
and both were en-
tirely different recordings.No master numbers were given so I can't say if the 
recordings were from the
same date.What I do remember about the Coasters' recording was the line "Who 
me?" "Yeah,you" was
by the Coasters on one master and a speeded up group on the other.Recording 
dates were given on the
anthology album but I don't have it here in Oregon.It may have disappeared when 
my sister in law sold
1100+ albums of mine several years ago for $100.It may be back in Lometa,Texas 
when I lived there 

several years ago.Much of my rock and roll is still back there.Oddly enough,I've 
never heard any covers
of the Coasters recordings other than what you have mentioned.I do have some 
Japanese 78s of different
things like Andy Williams who recorded for Archie Bleyer's Cadence label but one 
78 is on Japanese
Capitol.I have one Duke Ellington Japanese Columbia where the label looks like 
the mid to late '20s Am-
erican version.The printing on the Japanese Columbia is horrible.

Correct title for 56-5447 is 'Jones s'est montré'.

Both are from 1959.
