[78-L] Unique 1960 US Columbia 78 label (yes 1960!)

[agp]

Hmmm --- it seems  that I was wrong in my assumption. The record is 
actually Mexican, made by Discos Columbia de Mexico SA. I don't know 
the exact connection between Columbia's US and Mexican hispanic 
operations, but I know that in 1961 Discos Columbia de Mexico SA 
became Discos CBS SA. My guess is that US Columbia continued the 
original name for hispanic releases for a considerable amount of time 
(I have some US lps on Discos CBS from the 70s and 80s)

Anyway -- it still desn't take away from the fact that its a 
nifty-gullifty label style
