Decca has even reissued several Philips CDs with the same covers but with the Decca logo instead of the familiar burgundy stripe across the top of the cover. Sure looks weird. No new recordings have come out under the Philips label for quite a while now. (And if there were any, they'd be under Decca.)
They used to be my favorite label as well, particularly in the 70's. When just about everyone else was putting out lousy-sounding recordings, Philips (as well as EMI) were standouts. Great performances, too.
