This discography is a non-commercial labor-of-love and is in no way associated with any business firm.
All I know about the resp. artist's / label's musical output is shown on this page. To purchase out-of-print records I recommend an ebay, gemm or google search. And - sorry for that - I have not the time to answer any e-mails asking me about further information, let alone duplicating out-of-print recordings I happen to own.

"In December 1964 a jazz-and-blues-loving executive for German Brunswick Records pressed some limited vinyl reissues of material he liked to give as holiday presents. This is one of them, pressed in strictly limited quantity (I have heard both 50 and 35 copies) one time only. The records were distributed in plain inner sleeves - there is no art cover for this. A mimeographed play list, headed with "Special Pressing Brunswick Nr. 004 626" and the date on the bottom, neatly folded in two was inserted into the sleeve and given away with the disks."
