RE: GREAT POST, VP - But What About....?

One more push for philips here.

UK and Dutch pressings are usually excellent. I would describe the recordings as usually natural and non-exaggerated.

A neat aspect is that they are plentiful, use excellent artists, and unusually consistent through the years and label changes: green (mono); HiFi-Stereo; Maroon, Red-Bold Silver; Red/Blue-silver, Red/Blue-white and the digital label. Nowadays Hi-Fi Stereo and green labels can fetch ridiculous prices (Grumiaux solo Bach comes to mind.
Later issues 70-80 are usually very thin as someone mentioned but if it is a Dutch pressing you can count on it to be dead quiet.

I used pass over philips records for quite some time. Now my pulse definitely increase when I spot early pressings I don't own.
