Thanks so much for all these rips... and especially for recommending a few for me to take a bite out of...

Greetings, wf. My favorites are by The Frans Mijts Progressive Dance Orchestra. I recommend DW 2690 and 2691. Also, the "Madison" ones are pretty good too. Check out DW 2753 and 2754.

What an amazing thread! Thanks so much for so many shares.

I have a couple of quick questions, coming to this so late...

1. Can I assume that any subsequent shares & upgrades (after the first "master" post) have been added to that master post or, having gone through it, will I need to move on to the subsequent pages & continue downloading?

2. Are the release years known before 1960 &, if so, could they perhaps be added to the master post?

Hello, Snowdog.

1. I updated the original post as I added new links, so everything should be available on the first post.

2. The records weren't dated until 1960. A few entries on Discogs have dates in the 1950s, but I don't know where the editor(s) got them from. I have a feeling that Label Variations 1, 2 and 3 may each have been a series that were released within one year. If Label Variation 4 came out in 1960, then series 1, 2 and 3 could have been 1957, 1958 and 1959. Just a guess.

Thanks! I'd hoped that might be the case. Sure saves a lot of cross-referencing!

As far as dates are concerned, I don't file things by release date in any case, so it won't wreck my filing system, I just like to have a date in the album name where available. I can put my customary "circa" type date in for the early ones.

Thanks for all the amazing work.

One more question...

Some of the missing ones have a title in as well as the number. Are they like that because we simply know what they are or is there another reason (like everybody knows what they are & has them already)?

I'm only asking because I seem to have some of them & could share them if it would help? (Or pass them on to you to share properly as part of the master post.)

The ones with titles are 10" LPs. De Wolfe released both 78s and LPs for a few years. I added the LPs to the list just to show how the two formats overlapped.

Ah, cool. I can see that now you point it out. So, as this is a place for 78s, links to the LPs are not required here. 👍
