There are stereo 78s,from both Latin America,and South Africa from the early 60s.I sold a South African stereo Reprise 78 once on ebay of Frank Sinatra,and somewhere I have a sleeve from South America that lists some from a label called Discos Fuentes.

I actually own a STEREO 78! It was pressed, probably in 1968, by RCA Canada.
What I WISH I owned was its companion...which seems to be a Quadrophonic
78...!
