The Jailhouse Rock Verison i posted as a responce was recorded in early Hi-Fi at RCA Victor. and in my verison the response range in 24,000 kHz to 5kHz so RCA knew what they were doing just before discontinuing 78 RPMs.

If an RCA Records artist was recorded in their studos and pressed directly from their plant then the record will come off sounding utterly fabulous as with "Don't Be Cruel." I have a RCA 78 on Earha Kitt for example that sounds like it is stereo. However, my 78 of Elvis' version Hound Dog is totally inferior in sound quality that the original by Big Mama Thornton on the tiny independent Peacock Records 78 is sonically much better. Elvis was fortunate to have recorded with RCA for superior sound.

the sound is dope on that one. i just listened to 'maybalene' by chuck berry and the sound wasn't not so great. yeah, it is spinning fast. it's beautiful.

It helps that the music on this record, along with most popular music from that period, didn't have the 19,980Hz dynamic range you speak of. So it reproduced nicely on the more limited 78 rpm record. Trivia: When RCA bought the Sun Records masters of Elvis, the tape of "Milkcow Blues Boogie" was lost. So Victor dubbed their version off a Sun 78. If you have that on CD, listen closely on good equipment and you can hear a faint 78-times-per-minute "click" on the fadeout.

That's what the "technology" was when the 78 rpm record was perfected at the end of the 19th Century, 'jack'. At best, the "standard" 10 inch "78" could hold about three and a half minutes of music or speech [the 12 inch version almost five minutes]. It wasn't until after the modern "33" record was perfected and introduced in 1948 (and the "45" seven inch single in '49) that the "78" was doomed to "extinction"; it was officially "phased out" by the recording industry in 1958.
