My research indicates that after EMI stopped pressing 78s in the UK, 
they shipped all their 78 'stuff' to India. To the best of my 
knowledge it continued in use their until 1967 or so.

As to Decca, I can find no info on how late Decca pressed 78s in the 
subcontinent.

As to other Phil Spector tracks -- somewhere along the way, I seem to 
recall seeing a Ronnettes or Crystals 78 from the Philippines, but I 
do not recall the label. Again, though, while one would assume it 
would be via Decca, as Phillies releases where on London American/ 
London International, how late Decca lasted there is unknown. My 
thought is that it was on the ERA label, which is no relation to the 
US Era label.
