it will pop up some day.  it does exist.  it wont be cheap.  even in india, they know.  then the question remains, you just spend 500 bucks on a 78: thats being shipped from India- how many pieces will it be in (hopefully: one).

It exists alright, but it's almost impossible to find.

I have one. Bought it around 25 years ago, along with an Indian Beatles 78, from an ad in Record Collector. Cost me £50 (the Beatles 78 was £100). I've never seen another since - that's my copy on the Starline website.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Dawg can you make a video of it next time you go for a spin?  Does it sound less compressed and better than the 45? You are without a doubt beach boys collector #1 here if you have that-- incredible.  thanks for stepping forward!!!!!!!!!!

Shellac is quite a noisy (almost inherently noisy) sound carrier, so I don't think it would sound better than a well-kept 45. It's not a record I listen to often, mainly as neither of my turntables has a 78 speed option (also it would require swapping to a mono cartridge etc).

There are a few folks round here that make my collection look pretty part-time, but thanks for your comments!
