June 1959 to June 1960 was the last year that 78 rpm records were commercially produced in America.

Miami

“Miami” backed with “I Ain’t Going For That,” Class 254, by Eugene Church.  His follow up to his earlier minor Top 40 hit, “Pretty Girls Everywhere,” this was an even more minor hit.  It was released in June 1959, and rose to no. 14 on Billboard’s R&B charts in August 1959.

What do you mean the last year?

Not covered in this site are children’s records (Peter Pan, Disney, etc.) that were issued on 78 rpm until the mid-1960s.  Also not covered are commercially issued 78 records that were issued into mid and late 1960s in countries outside of the USA (India, South Africa, Philippines, etc.).  Not even Canadian or British releases.

Also, I want to express my thanks to Discogs, eBay, John Tefteller, 45worlds, 45 cat, and all others for the images used on this non-commercial blog.
