[78-L] Angel Records - EMI US, made in Canada 78rpm

[Thomas Stern]

before sending the query I googled and found bunches of Chinese recordings on 78rpm ANGEL label, mfd. in India or Japan.
I was NOT aware of any US (or Canadian) 78's from the start of Angel in the US in 1952, though thinking about it, it seems
reasonable that there would be since 78's were still around.
The recording angel trade mark goes back to the early days of 78's, though I do not think the NAME "Angel" was.

RE the US/Canadian 50's 78's - were there albums or only singles?  Any classical? etc.

Thanks!  Thomas.

I've only seen the private Angels from late '40s and early '50s, none from earlier days that I can recall.
