The tenacity of this format in some 432 markets however resulted in some of the most unusual and unexpected 433 releases ever. 434 </P> 435 <P> 436 Great Britain's EMI records continued to issue 78s in 437 India until at least 1968, legend has it due to the preponderance of 438 wind-up phonographs there. Among those are a number of releases by the Beatles 439 on Parlophone. The earliest of these featured a red Parlophone label. 440 Parlophone switched to a black label in 1965. It is quite possible that some 441 of the earlier red label releases may have been reissued on the black label. <I>(<B>Editor's Note: </B>See the discography page for a comment from Graeme on this issue.)</I> 442 </P> 443 <P> 444 These releases carried both the standard (UK) 'R' numbering series as 445 well as DPE prefix releases with different couplings than that of 446 the standard Parlophone UK issues. 447 </P> 448 <P> 449 Each record has an individual value in the range of least US$500 to US$1300. 450 </P> 451 <P> 452 Similar to the situation with vinyl 45s in the USA today, EMI also released 78s in Argentina and the Philippines for radio stations and juke boxes, many with unique combinations of songs.</P> 453 <P> 454 Rumour has it that similar releases occurred in South Africa through 455 EMI-Brigadiers, possibly of "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand". Surely such a discovery would be a treat! 456 </P> 457 <P> 458 These releases are not the first 78s featuring the Beatles. As the Quarry Men, 459 they recorded a 78 rpm acetate of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" 460 backed with an original Paul McCartney / George Harrison composition 461 "In Spite of All Danger" in 1958. This recording took place at 462 (Percy) Phillips Sound Recording Service at 38 Kensington in Liverpool. 463 The original cost of this 78 was 17s 6d (88 p in decimal currency or about US$1.30), 464 its current value is incalculable as Paul McCartney owns the only copy, 465 and he isn't selling. 466 </P> 467 <P> 468 McCartney did have several reproductions of this acetate prepared in both 10 469 inch 78rpm format and 7 inch 45 rpm format a few years ago at EMI. He went so 470 far as to accurately reproduce not only the label, but also the acetate's physical 471 material, a feat that had EMI hunting high and low. These copies are now safely 472 locked away....somewhere 473 </P> 474 <P> 475 <B>NOTE:</B>A large amount of the information on this site came from record collector G.McLagan who occasionaly has Beatles 78s for sale.
