Though I’m not too much focused on Philips EP’s and singles anymore, I buy one every now and then and I do add these titles to the singles and EP pages. I scanned NBE 11070 for Discogs and of course I should add them to my Philips website as well. Click on the image below to see large images.
Images have been added for Epic LC 3033, the US version of Philips A 00166 L. This LP was first released by Philips in 1953, the US version appeared the next year. It featured a completely different cover, but it mentions the Mozart Jubilee Edition 1956. Click on the image below to see large images.
Scans were added for Philips S 06028 R, which is a reissue of Philips A 00103 R. Click on the image below to see large images and more.
This 10 inch album was on the website already, I’ve added scans of a reissue version. Click on the image below to see it all.
Images were added for Philips A 00112 R, an early 10 inch classical album. Click on the image below for large images and more details.
Philips A 00106 R was first issued in 1951, it’s one of the earliest Philips releases. This first version was scanned and also the (probably) third pressing, with a different cover and different labels. Click on the first image below for large images and more details.
Images were added for Philips S 06602 R, a classical 10 inch album from the Favourites-series. This is an early example with a 066XX number, from 1955. It looks as if number S 06600 R (the first) was issued in late 1954, the rest from this series in 1955 or later. Flipback cover constructions, with laminated front and back, don’t seem to exist for this series, which indicates it started later than the 060XX series. The first issues had yellow labels though, like the second generation of the 060XX series.

Recently I spent some time on cleaning a few old Columbia 10 inch records and among them were four titles from the label’s “Dance Parade” series, originally issued in 1949-50. I checked Discogs to see what this series was about and if there were connections with the Philips label. In 1949-50 Philips and Columbia didn’t yet cooperate, but that doesn’t mean that much and indeed, some of the titles in this Columbia series were issued on Philips as well, in c. 1953. To confuse things, Philips als issued albums in this Dance Parade series, that were not connected to the Columbia label. In this post I will try to shed a light on both the US and Dutch series. Note that this series is not (yet) mentioned on this website (except in this post). Also note that only 10 inch issues are listed below.

* The “Dance Parade” album by Corduwener has “Dancing Time” on the labels… and as can be seen below: the front cover doesn’t mention the artist nor the catalog number – I’d like to find me a copy of this one some day!
Notes:
Though single issues and EP’s were side tracked on this website, every now and then I find an interesting single or EP, which will still find its way to these pages. This time a 45 by Iranian singer Elaheh with the Javad Lashgari Orchestra; a peculiar issue. The 45 was made in the Netherlands but the Persian text for the artists and song titles, indicates it was distributed on the Iranian market. Click on the image below to see large images and more.
Images were added for a 10 inch album, titled “Red Garters” a film soundtrack. Click on the image below to see large images and more.
