neveronfriday Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 OK, I haven't been very successful at finding out who made this cover, when and where. [sorry for the bad photo quality]. Description: mint-greenish with accents in orange; left foot of figure seems to carry an EW. signature. This is B 07025 L, a Philips Minigroove 33 1/3 of Jazz Goes to College, printed in Holland. There's no year and my dad, who this is from, cannot remember when/where he bought it (around publication, mid-50s?). It's always been one of my faves and I'm about to get it framed. Does anyone have any info on this? Quote
neveronfriday Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 The only thing I could so far find out (not sure how accurate) is that this should be the alternative European (Germany/UK) cover from , what, the first European release? I don't really care so much about when this is from ... I'd much rather find out something about the designer. So far, I've drawn nothing but blanks on my usual stomping grounds around the Net. :/ Quote

Philips Microgroove LPs indeed have alternative covers. I have a handfull, all originally issued on Columbia and all from the mid 50s, just like your Brubeck. My guess is that Philips had a distribution deal with Columbia. Mine are all made in Holland BTW. Quote

couw Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) and the answer is: Emmerich Weninger leave it to vice Dutch google champion 2004* to solve this one for you! just to let you in on the proceedings: I googled up "platenhoezen" "philips" and found out there is a book on that; went to the publisher where there was a list of illustrators included, among which Emmerich Weninger as the only one with the appropriate initials. Googled him up and found this. Proof enough! Edited May 11, 2007 by couw Quote

neveronfriday Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 leave it to vice Dutch google champion 2004* to solve this one for you! YEAH! Leave it to the Dutch dude to leave everyone in the dust. Thanks a million, John! *hugs and kisses* and all the usual stuff! Quote
Jim R Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Cool- I was hoping someone would solve this. Merci Beau Couw! I was going to guess Eugene Wright. Quote
Shrdlu Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Philips most certainly did have an agreement with Columbia. On the LP cover of "Time Further Out", there is a picture of Dave in New Zealand with a guy identified as Philips' N.Z. manager. (The relevance of the picture is that one of the tracks is "Maori Blues".) Quote
