[78-L] End of the line for 78s on Mercury in Canada

[agp]

Just have to boast a bit on this one ... just acquired one of my holy 
grails. Just got a(n unbroken) 78 of Broken Hearted Melody b/w Misty 
by Sarah Vaughan on Canadian Mercury 71477. Both tracks hit number 3 
on the CHUM chart in September 1959.

Looks like the US release was end of June 1959 on 45 (no 78 there to 
be sure), so this has to be pretty much the end of the line for 78s 
on Mercury in Canada.

Came in a Mercury 'Music for your dancing and listening pleasure' 
company sleeve (via Quality) with a 'For best results use Recoton 
Phononeedles' notation.

So -- this re-rigs the 'holy grail' list a bit, with a wonder if 
What  a Difference a Day Makes by Dinah Washing on Mercury 71435 saw 
78 rpms also.
