[78-L] Canadian Warner Bros 78s -- The Pressing Thereof

[Han Enderman]

I hoped indeed to get additional info.
Latest available images are:
UK WB.1 Cathy's Clown - 1960
Bz 78-WB-01 Gino Paoli: Sassi (recd Italy)
Ph W-5313 E. Fontana promo - rim legend gives 1959 copyright ("This record published and C.1959 Warner Bros. Records, Inc."), but poss. older label blanks used.
SA WB 5220 EvBr Temptation
SA WB 5501 EvBr Muskrat.

Is this a single numerical series in the 5000s, being 5000 or 5001 (in Canada) through 5100/5200s in SA ?, and through 5313 in Philippines?

There were several in the UK, among them WB 17 as the UK catalogue 
number -- WB 5163 being the US, -- Lucille by the Everly Brothers.. 
The first UK Warners 78 WB 1 - (US:WB 5151) looks to be Cathy Clown by them.

South Africa continued up to at least WB 5199 which was Ebony Eyes by 
the aforementioned brothers.

Brazil apparently started late with 78-WB-1 there being WB 5259 Al Di 
La by Emilio Pericoli in June 1962

Phillipines was also 1962 -- September I think with The Pearls and 
the songs are Happy Over Youb/w If I Had a Choice on  WB 5300
