Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.

Bob Brozman told me he thought he was on the last 78. Playing in R Crumbs Cheapsuit Serenaders. My Girls Pussy. Cant remember the release date. Mid to late 1970s. Still remeber the shop I got it at. The Party Record rings a bell.
Cheers Tim
- the last commercial 78s was the Rhino set - Interstage Tranny 10:06:56 06/03/07 (1)
  The R Crumb stuff was on Yazoo Records, I believe. Yazoo did more than a few esoteric reissues. A few of their 33 1/3 compilations of 78s include some of the rarest blues 78s you might ever hear.
  The absolute last 78 rpm pressings, that I know about, were the RHINO 1950s hits, rereleased on 78s in the 1990s ! That set fetches more than $300. on the bay.
  The Indian Beatles 78s from the mid '60s must be tough to find. I'll take a few of those, please...

The Marvelettes, on Motown, may have been the last 78rpm pressed in the U.S.

......EMI records continued to issue some Beatles 78s in India until at least 1965.
