This is also a bit of a reservation on my part, given the white 
label. While it doesn't say 'Prohibida se venta' (not for sale) as do 
many South American promos, it may be one.

Given parallels in reports in Billboard, 78s in those countries were 
still made by EMI, RCA, and Columbia -- with Columbia (or Discos 
Columbia), the latino arm,  based in Miami making 78s well into the 
mid 60s specifically for that market (I know, I have one)
