I decided to add a page with my 78 rpm issues. Though not featuring the Minigroove logo (or better: the minigroove technique), these records are from circa the same period of time (1950-58) and I found it suitable to include them on this website.
This page is linked from the “Minigroove” page and can also be visited by clicking here.

A bit off-topic, but too curious to leave unmentioned, since I found this acetate disc in a thrift store lately. The only connection is the word “minigr.” (“minigroove”), mentioned on the labels and ‘stolen’ from Philips, as I assume Philips came up with this word, as a variation on “Microgroove”, used by other record companies.

It may appear that there was little activity on the website, which in a way is true, but I’ve been very busy with buying and cleaning Philips Minigroove records. Several have been listed in the meantime, others still have to. I hope to work more on the website in the upcoming weeks and will add images and information.
