Point being that it is theoretically possible to "issue" ANY now-extant
recording on a (vinyl) 78...! So...yes, there exist recordings of rhe
sixties on 78...from the handful of countries where 78's were still
being pressed for owners of acoustic "wind-up"" players; however,
current "reissue" 78's nominally therefrom dall into the "$3-bill"
category...! Perhaps we will see a new "all-78" label which will
issue various "old hits" on current vinyl 78's...at a price that
\represents the maximum sum they can ask for...?!
