No, I believe Royal Event by Russ Conway was the last 78rpm record released by EMI...earlier in 1960. Jet Black and Saturday Dance weren't released on 78 either in the UK. By the middle of 1959 the 45rpm disc was king; only records which were likely to be hits were pressed up in both formats - and 78s had to be specially ordered.
