A few years ago I came across a copy of Sam Cooke's you send me on Black / Silver London on a 78 rpm. about 10 inch in size and a heavy duty Shellat. It got me thinking ! is there any big pre 1960s soul records on 78 rpm, and is the a market out there. I don't have the record now as it had a crack in it.

The first Motown release in the UK is on a 78.  Unfortunately I've forgotten what it is.  Didn't come out on a 45 though.  Think Barrett Strong "Money" might also be on a 78 as well as a 45.

78's don't travel well by post and for some reason i think interest has fallen off in recent years,

my mate in london told me the 78 dealers don't bother to go much nowadays

to the rock and roll record fair in great portman st. because no one was buying.

 Hi Kev, I think it went under a table leg to steady it?  Know I think I binned it mate, hope your keeping well. Rod

Yes, it was released on a 78. but only on ANNA, not on Tamla.

no

I've seen "Baby Please Don"t Go" by Jo Ann Henderson on a Phono Graph 78 but I think that's more R & B or Popcorn than Soul.

It's been discussed here before but there are a few collectable soul / Motown 78's from places like India, Pakistan, Philippines, African countries, etc.

Big Maybelle "i've got a feelin" came on 78.

theyre big in France for old 78s jukeboxs so a dealer tells me

Not really Soul but got this a few weeks ago for 50c from a Flea Market.
