Cary, is it still playable or did you have it as a kid and wear out the grooves?

However there were still 78s being manufactured by small record companies into the 60s, just not on the same commercial scale as pre-1958. Many rock & roll records recorded in the US around that time were pressed in Canada - Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater" on MGM for instance; a big hit but the US pressing is rare.Internationally 78s were pressed until the late 60s, both India and countries in South America come to mind.As you surmise, it's more complicated than this, of course.Malcolm*******On 3/14/2020 3:52 AM, DKing wrote:> What year is the end of 78 rpm recordings?>> I know enough to know the answer is not a simple one.>> - Dave King>> _______________________________________________> 78-L mailing list> 78-L at klickitat.78online.com> http://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
