a 10" 78 of Carl Perkins doing Blue Suede Shoes, but is there really a 
quantity of rock on 78?
 There  were 1000s of rock titles issued on 78.The 78 was phased out  gradually,worldwide,from 1958-65.The US labels stopped  pressing  them for commercial sale,in August 1958,but continued to press them  jukeboxes. Canada,and the UK,pressed them,until (March ?),of 1959.South  Africa,continued to press 78s,for public sale,until 1962.Most of South  America,Turkey,and The Philippines(Where lots of American,and British  rock was pressed.),sold them up intil 1963.And then there is India,  where they were pressed,up until Summer of 1965.Thus, every Parlophone  beatle single,at least through "Help" exists on 78 RPM.Here's a link
