keebrev 16th Sep 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumStanley Black, Londonskim Festivalskim Orkestrom - Rapsodija U Plavom, Amerikanac U Parizu | Recorded on 24 and 25 May 1965 at Kingsway Hall with the London Festival Orchestra (actually the New Philharmonia Orchestra) and released on Oct 1966 as Decca PFS4098 and Feb 1967 as London SPC21009.
Later reissued as CD 421 025.2.
This record weights only 122 gram and it's very flexible, so I guess it's a later (70's) pressing. But I'm not shure.

Note the different orchestras on the label and rear of the cover!

keebrev 19th May 2017 | | Classical ItemRobert Merrill, Jan Peerce - La Traviata | I added this record as a single "78rpm record", but it belongs to the "78rpm Album" if more discs of this recording appears, I guess. It's (of course) a 12" record.

keebrev 21st Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Golden Earrings - Just Earrings | The M in the 33 triagle doesn't mean mono,see here.
M stands for Microgroove, so this record should be played with a (flip-over) cartridge in M position and not in N (normal groove, for 78 rpm records).
Stereo singles appeared directly from the start of the Stereo Era, in 1958
Here is one a year after.
Popular music was mostly played by young people on monaural record players, so there was no use to release them as stereophonic records.

keebrev 14th Mar 2017 | | Classical ItemAndrés Segovia - Madronos, Homenaje Pour Le Tombeau De Debussy, Sonate | Made in Germany in the dead wax. The date code is B 7, and between the B and the 7 is in a lower groove a fallen back letter L. So I presume it's date is Februari 1957.
Phil, here we have twelve months in a year, so 1160 is November 1960 ;).
Is it possible to use this date as a release date?

keebrev 9th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Hi-Fi Stereo Parade | Here you see the complete1969 catalogue of Philips HiFi products. The 22RH790 (page 3 of the record, the model above the pu- catridges) was the first receiver with a ( 3 - presetteble) electronic touch control knobs. If you repair this one notice the 300V supply for the neon indicator / memory touch control electronic devices. You might not expected such high voltages in a transistorized receiver! It gives you an unpleasant moment when you touched such a component, I noticed.

Curious is the cat# of the records. You might expect a SLS 5047 number or at least 0C 179-52394, xx95 and xx96 instead of BOX 504xxx. I've never seen it before.

keebrev 19th Feb 2017 | | 78 RPMWilly Derby - Twee harten in een driekwartsmaat / Voorby geluk (Song of songs) | It is indeed German made for the Dutch market. The Dutch alfabet has a letter ( the ij) which is unique in the world and only exists in The Netherlands and Flandria. Other countries, like Germany uses the y instead of ij. The capital letter is the IJ like in the river IJssel. Lot of people spell it wrong (also Dutch!) as Ijssel.
The y or Y is a foreign letter for us.
The word "voorby" is spelled wrong, it should be "voorbij".
Louis Davids song ......Zei zy is corrected: Zei zij (She said). The pronouncing is the same.
So the country should be changed in to "Germany" (Germanij :) and the type of record "Export"' . Also the same for the other Tri-Ergon records.
Willy Derby was a Dutch singer (1886 - 1944)

keebrev 18th Feb 2017 | | Classical ItemCarl Seemann - Mozart: Piano Concertos No. 24 And No. 25 | It seens to be they have changed the orchestra on side 2 of the label, or made a mistake on the back of the cover.
The director Fritz Lehmann died in May 1956, so it's an old recording they reissued in the UK, probably for the first time in 1969.
Edit: Side 2 - the recording is in January 1956, with the Munich Philharmonic.

keebrev 17th Feb 2017 | | Classical ItemPrague Chamber Orchestra - The Four Seasons | Well.... tons of Supraphon records.... not in The Netherlands as far as I know, They were cheap, yes, but they had a name of bad quality (like Europa / Karoussel records) and the performances coudn't tip to the Westen musicians. So you don't see them so much, especially not SQ ones.
Melodia was represented by CNR here and had the same problem, although Russian music should be played with Russian musicians, because "only they could feel the spirit" of the composer :) , according to CNR.
Reminds me of a nice promo 7" vinyl record I have somewhere. It has a origami promotion leaf.

keebrev 17th Feb 2017 | | Classical ItemPrague Chamber Orchestra - The Four Seasons | I never saw a quadraphonic vinyl and didn't know they made four channel records behind the Iron Curtain. Or was this only for export purpuses, as seen on the back of the cover GB/GE/FR texts?

It is not exactly with the same performers, and it can be played in various themes but it's so an immortal masterpiece, see the comments.
