Philips 78rpm records (non-Minigroove)

This page lists regular, non-Minigroove Philips 78rpm records, which are in my collection.

Notes:

  • The fourth column in the tables below refers to the 45rpm issue if it’s known to exist (the 45rpm issue features the Minigroove logo).

  • The land of origin for the 45rpm issue corresponds with the land of origin of the 78rpm issue (so a Dutch 45rpm issue is f.i. not listed for a French 78rpm issue).

  • The number used for a 45rpm issue is the same as the 78rpm issue, except that a ‘3’ is added as the first number. Since 45rpm singles and EP’s were released first in 1955, so some 45rpm issues are in fact reissues. From 1955 onwards both formats were issued concurrently.

  • The main 317 XXX series was followed by the 318 XXX series, but it seems there were only a few 78rpm issues for this latter category. They were probably released in 1958, the last year for the 78rpm record. The 319 XXX series is not the continuation of the 318 XXX series, but a separate one.

  • The last table below lists the 12 inch 78rpm classical records I own. The third column in this table is called “Minigroove issue”; I guess most 12 inch issues have been released in the 7 inch 78rpm format as well.

Dutch 78’s (17000 series):
Note: For regular 78’s, the prefix P was also used for Dutch jazz records, unlike most Minigroove issues. Prefix B was used for international/western (often US) artists.

Dutch 78’s (72000 series, French artists):
Note: Prefix N was often used for French artists, which seems to be a somewhat odd choice. LP’s for these artists, when made in the Netherlands, usually carry the P prefix, which I find more logical.
