[78-L] Late-pressed 78rpm records - since about 1970

[Malcolm Rockwell]

What about the Orioles?

1000A (O-100)
Harry Reser's Radio Band
When I Take My Sugar To Tea
originally Hit of the Week 1007

1000B (O-101)

orig. Hit of the Week 1105

1001A (O-102)
Jalousie

1002B (O-105)

1003B (O-107)

1004A (O-108)
(Schubert) Serenade
Richard Crooks with Orchestra under the direction of Howard Barlow
orig. 16" radio transcription c. 1943

1004B (O-109)
Rose Marie
Richard Crooks with Orchestra under the direction of Howard Barlow
orig. 16" radio transcription c. 1943

I believe this is the end of the series, all released c. 2006

In my opinion? A true waste of a really good idea. With so many great 
78s to choose from the producer (whose name I cannot remember) chose 
such mediocre material. Even at $15 each this Oriole reissue series 
could have been a hit.
