Fonodisc label - Beatles hits 1964 - 1965

The label I know the least about is Fonodisc (confusing: Discofoon and Fonodisc). The Beatles hits were covered here by The Stars. Where the recordings came from remains a mystery. The pronunciation of the lyrics sounds British, but the audio quality of the records is tinny. Obviously these recordings were made with less professional musicians. The Extended Play records (4 tracks) were also relatively expensive at Hfl. 3,95 (the same price of a regular single), but they had stylish full colour sleeves with ladies in cocktail dresses or dancing teenagers and they were sold in sealed plastic outer sleeves in supermarkets and petrol stations.
