[78-L] Non-Bluebird/ RCA Spike Jones 78s

[Anthony G Pavick]

I was reading through Jordan Young's book on Spike Jones and have a 
few questions about the discography given therein, specifically 
around non-Bluebird/ RCA releases -- not counting transcriptions.

So, here's a laundry list of question around those issues on 78s

1) Young lists the Starlite release of Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom 
White (cat. 1371) as 78 and 45. I've seen the 45 but never the 78. 
Can anyone confirm its existence. (BTW -- did Spike really own Starlite?)

2) What was the format of Verve 2003 (reissued/ renumbered as 10003) 
Spike Jones Spoofs The Pops #1. It was a 4 song release - Love & 
Marriage and The Trouble With Pasquale b/w Memories Are Made Of This 
and 16 Tacos. A later issue dropped Love & Marriage  and replaced it 
with a song called Little Child. Was this truly a 78 RPM EP. For 
which catalog number was Love & Marriage replaced?

3) The WB release (5116) of I Was a Teenage Brain Surgeon was October 
1959, so a bit late for 78 I'd think even in Canada. However if Spike 
was popular in South Africa, could it have made it out there on 78 as 
WB continued 78s until 1963 in that area.

4) Could the 1960 (plus) releases on Liberty be possible 78s in the 
Philippines?

5) Finally, Decca. Obviously the 1941 releases by Cindy Walker and 
the City Slicekrs are 78s, but does any one have an image of the 1955 
release under the name 'The Banjo Maniacs' or Pick It You Peasant on 
Decca 29623?

Any ideas
