[78-L] Rozsa dates

[Kristjan Saag]

So we need to know what Billboard meant with Capitol repackaging 
material "previously issued" on the P 456. And that was apart from "The 
Red House".
Both Kloss' "Quo Vadis" and his "Speelbound Concerto" were also out on 
Capitol 45 rpm EP's: FBF-454 and FaP 1-453; both using the same cover 
images as the 10'' LP's. Probably issued at the same time as well.
I've fund no trace of 78's with this stuff, though.

Seems pretty reliable - no issue or recording dates, though.
