SYD LAWRENCE 33s
by Music Librarian Christopher Popa
I have good information about when this material was recorded and know that Fontana (E) SFL 13178 was Syd Lawrence’s first album, followed by the Philips titles – but once on Philips the catalog numbers assigned don’t quite follow a chronological - or, in my opinion, logical - sequence!
