[78-L] Some more C&W survivors of the '50s who made 78s (was RE: George Jones)

[David Lennick]

Colonial would have been on Sparton up here, and Fraternity on Quality, both of 
which kept 78s alive well into 1959. London wasn't that strong in C&W except 
for Canadian artists (on Rodeo and Aragon), plus anyone who was on Imperial.

Loudermilk recorded on Colonial as Johnny Dee. I've never seen a Willie Nelson 78, but his first records were in 1959 on the D label - doubtful he was ever on 78. Clark recorded for 4 Star and Coral in the early '50s. Craddock was on Sky Castle and Colonial in '57, I have 78s by Hart on Columbia. Rose Lee Maphis recorded with her husband Joe for OKeh in the early '50s. Tillis started around '57 - I have two Columbia 78s (US issues, no less) by him.
