British issues of Prestige main series albums

The last Prestige to be first issued by Esquire was Jack McDuff's "Screamin'" (PR7259 - Esq 32-196)

The first Prestige to be first issued by EMI on Stateside was Jack McDuff's "Live" (PR 7274 - SL10060)

The last Prestige to be first issued by EMI on Stateside was Carol Ventura's "I love to sing" PR7405 - SL10180 (WTF? - well, it was recorded in London)

The Prestige discography table of equivalents doesn't mention the Transatlantic issues because they used PR7XXX numbers (except for the budget reissues on Xtra), so I don't know what the first one was. The earliest one I've got (or ever seen that I can remember) is Johnny "Hammond" Smith's "The stinger" - PR7408.

MG

Here in Holland the early titles - I think - were only available as imports (though on a very low scale). I have never seen any European pressings, except for some of the later titles (7400+) on the German Funckler label (nice laminated jackets and solid pressings). Some of the Swingville/Moodsville/Bluesville titles which were sold here had European jackets (Interdisc) but contained original pressings.

Barclay issued PR in France, up to about 7200, then I think Voix de son Maitre . Bellaphon, then Saba in Germany. Not nearly so clear about the periods, however. Some Fontanas from MV etc, also.

MG

Totally correct about Bellaphon for Germany, MG. And then there were Prestige records pressed and distributed (not only in Scandinavia) by METRONOME.
