Earlier I added labels for a few Columbian albums I acquired, all missing their covers. One of these albums was by Luis Rovira, who probably made three albums for Philips, all pretty obscure. Added today was a promotional photo for Luis Rovira Y Su Combo. The back lists the three albums Luis Rovira made for Philips. Click on the image below and scroll down to see both the front and the back of that photo.
Images were added for Philips P 15370 H, a 78rpm record by Bernard Drukker (Hammond orgel). Click the image below to see large images.
It’s been some time since I added pictures to the website, but I’ve been busy with it nevertheless: new additions were listed, corrections to the text were made, etc., etc. Today I added scans for a recently acquired album: “The Song Is You” by Wally Stott and his Orchestra.

Images were added for Columbia CL 604, an album by Pete Rugolo and His Orchestra, which was reissued on Philips B 07049 L in 1955. Click on the image below for large images and more details.
Images were added for Philips A 00259 L, a classical album featuring Clara Haskil and the “Wiener Symphoniker”. Click on the image below to see large images and more details.
After Chile and Colombia, it’s now time for Argentina. I added two albums: “Ayer, Hoy Y Siempre” by Marlene Dietrich (P 07684 L) and “Basie” by La Orquesta De Count Basie (P-630.577-L).
Unlike Chile and Colombia, Philips Argentina used a different logo; the lay-out is the same but it reads ‘microsurco’ instead of ‘minigroove’. A surprising detail, as the Spanish word means ‘microgroove’, rather than ‘minigroove’.

Images were added for Philips A 00383 L, Philips GA 00383 L and Epic LC 3343; three versions of the same album. A German Philips pressing, one from South Africa, and the US release on Epic. Click on the first image below to see large images for all of these releases (the US release is linked from the notes).
Images were added for Philips P 17145 H, a regular 78rpm record from 1953, performed by Jan Corduwener and his Ballroom-Orchestra. Click on the image below to see large images and more details, for instance anbout the origins of both songs.
Images were added for three versions of the same record by Henri Salvador. The French pressing N 72.109 H was probably released first. It’s a regular 78rpm record, no Minigroove, same as the Dutch 78rpm record, but the 45rpm issue does feature the Minigroove logo. Click on the images below for larger images and more details.
Images were added for Philips BBE 12353, a jazz EP by Dave Brubeck. Click on the image below to see large images and more details.
