WSBG Returns Yet Again!

While I was browsing around eBay UK, I found a lot of forty library 78s on there, which mostly consists of 78s from Southern and Chappell, and while I was looking at the images for this lot, I found this:

This is a 78 from Southern numbered MQ 962. This is an extremely noteworthy find, because we thought the 78 catalog stopped at MQ 961. This 78 features a cue that would later show up on MQ/LP 36, named "Thunder Hole" by George Cole, though we don't know what the other track or tracks are on this 78. There's a possibility that the other cues on MQ/LP 36 could be from 78s as well, but we don't know if those 78s are confirmed to exist.
Peace, Love, and Library Music!

Fascinating. I'm always impressed by the extent of your research into this area of library music WSBG. Thank you for casting further light on this.

Good find, WSBG. B-side is "Children of the Village", also by G. Cole.

It's the last disc in the catalogue so likely the final Southern 78.
