South America remains as big a hotbed of late 78s as anywhere else in the world, with almost every nation on the continent issuing 78s well into the mid 60s. Brazil saw releases by Helen Shapiro, Uruguay had releases by Del Shannon, and of course we have the Beatles' unique 78 rpm promo single from Argentina detailed elsewhere on this site. In 2008, a 78 from Colombia came onto the market in the form of the unique coupling of I Saw Her Standing There with Don't Bother Me. It was released on Odeon NCO-300855, possibly in early 1964. In 2008, a copy was offered on eBay with an opening bid of US$2,999.99 and a Buy It Now price of US$6,000. You can see it here Indications are that A Hard Day's Night was also available on a 78 in Colombia. Stay tuned! |
