Scans have been added for a mysterious South American issue of LP A 00491 L. Click on the link or on the image for more details.

Scans have been added for several versions of Philips P 10005 R, by the Kilima Hawaiians, originally issued in 1952.

A 10 inch album which was beautifully packaged in a solid gatefold cover with photographs and information, released in 1957. Scans and info have been added to the website today.

Scans and information were added for a regular 10 inch issue: Philips A 00698 R. This album was first released in 1954 and an original pressing is shown. It was part of the Mozart Jubilee Edition 1757-1957 (see this post).

Scans and info were added for another early 10 inch issue in the Favourites-Series: S 06027 R. This release was also part of the Mozart Jubilee Edition 1756-1956 (see this post). The cover of this 10 inch album is fully laminated, indicating a first pressing (from early 1955).

Today, info and the images were added for Philips 429 240 BE, an EP by Mahalia Jackson and the Falls-Jones Ensemble. The recordings were originally made for Columbia in the USA.

I found another (later) copy of Philips N 00107 R, including the sleeve, and I added all scans to the Philips N 00107 R page.

Scans of this EP were added today. It’s a second issue of a compilation EP featuring Teddy Wilson, Erroll Garner, Joe Sullivan and Joe Bushkin. Click the image below for larger images and more details.

This EP was originally released in 1955. 1955 is supposed to be the first year Philips produced 7 inch singles and EP’s (not counting the mini 78rpm records). The first release came in a paper-like sleeve (with folded flaps glued on top of the back cover and no lamination); it came earlier than the laminated version shown here which also shows the text “All Philips records are high fidelity records” on the back.
