In the passed few weeks many new albums (and a few EPs) have been added (scans need to be made for almost all of them) and there were several corrections made to the Minigroove-page and elsewhere. The Classical Favourites page for instance, has been updated and the listings for the 05300 and 05600 numbers have been separated. These were issued concurrently and featured European and American recordings respectively (some exceptions do exist though).

Images were added for Philips A 01602 R and its reissue in the Favourites-Series: S 06625 R. Click on the images below for large images and more details.

Scans have been added for Philips A 00134 L. This album is an example of Philips’ intensive reissue program. In the Netherlands alone, this title has been reissued at least three times, all in the 1950’s (featuring the Minigroove logo). Featured here is the LP version, which came first, reissues came in the 10 inch format. The number 00134 has been used for both the LP and some of the 10 inch issues (A 00134 L for the LP, A 00134 R for the 10 inch versions). It was also reissued as part of the “Klassieke Klankjuwelen” series with a new number (G 05308 R). Click on the image below for large images and more details.
