Now here's one you don't see everyday ....
As we know (at least from a post of mine last year) the Columbia name
continued to appear on 78s (pressed in Miami according to my
research) for the Latino market as late as 1964. While the later 78s
where marketed on a purple labels as Discos Columbia, it seems that
in 1960, a Latino series lived on as just Columbia (minus 'discos').
And lo and behold, it used a red and black 'four eyes' label, not
unlike the 6 eye lp label of its time!

While I'm certain I overpaid for it -- I had to have it -- Columbia
4458-C Ya Te Traigo by Los Donnenos -- which actually is a snappy bit
of ranchera music
So chalk up another Columbia label variation
