– Jazz EP’s

Though I decided not to buy Philips 7 inch singles and EP’s anymore, I couldn’t resist when I found a collection of jazz EP’s recently. They are listed below.

Philips 421 028 BE: Lionel Hampton

Philips 421 104 BE: Svend Asmussen

Philips 421 500 PE: Bengt Hallberg a.o. (Jazz From Sweden No. 1)

Philips 421 506 PE: Willy Lundin a.o. (Jazz From Sweden No. 7)

The above three EP’s are from the “Jazz From Sweden” series. There were probably eight EP’s in this series and a selection of tracks also appeared on an LP (“Jazz From Sweden”, Philips B 08200 L).

– Philips P 76412 R (Piccolo en Saxo)

The page for this album already existed, but images of an original issue have now been added. Also, the details given are updated. The year the animation film was released is 1960, not 1957. It resulted in two different back covers for this album. Click on the image to go to the page and see it all.

– Albums to listen to…

Earlier today I found out that the archives.org website features many albums to listen to, including quite a few Philips Minigroove albums. I find this a much better alternative to YouTube, which I rather not use, for instance for all its commercial messages. For a few albums on this website I’ve included links to corresponding pages on archives.org: 00734, 06140, 01100, 00176, 00177 and 00440. More will follow.

– Philips S 06000 R (Beethoven)

Added today are scans from the first (Dutch) pressing of Philips S 06000 R, a 10 inch classic record, the first in the long Favourites Series that Philips ran. Click on the image below for more and larger images, and for more information.

– Philips N 02112 L (Rimsky-Korsakov)

There has been a big gap in my activities for the website, as I’ve been busy with loads of other things. Today I added images for Philips N 02112 L, and I hope to add more in the upcoming period.
