The "Brocken Spectre" meteorological optical phenomena at Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, 1968. The "spectre" appears when the sun shines from behind the observer, who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist or fog. ...I had a dream which both frightened and encouraged me. It was night in some unknown place, and I was making slow and painful headway against a mighty wind. Dense fog was flying along everywhere. I had my hands cupped around a tiny light which threatened to go out at any moment... Suddenly I had the feeling that something was coming up behind me. I looked back, and saw a gigantic black figure following me... When I awoke I realized at once that the figure was a "specter of the Brocken," my own shadow on the swirling mists, brought into being by the little light I was carrying.- Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
Juuust admit that we are energetic variants of the same ancient spiritual DNA, forever cosmically entwined like the strands of my lovely iridescent pearl necklace.Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true

Philips Records was established in 1950 by the Dutch electronic company. During the 1950s it served to distribute US recordings by Columbia, but also made own recordings in The Netherlands and in other European countries. In 1961, when Columbia formed its own international operations, Philips purchased Mercury Records and also merged with Deutsche Grammophon, which hold the Polydor label. In 1950s Philips started Fontana Records as a subsidiary label, which also formed divisions in USA and England.
In mid 1960s the British producer Alan Bates initiated a series of avant garde jazz releases for the Fontana, now highly prized by collectors. Not only for the music, but for their unique covers. The series had both Dutch and UK imprints. The covers were made by the Dutch artist Marte Röling. They are beautiful pop art pieces of the time, with fanciful renditions of the artists´ heads and minds.
The sessions origins are varied. Most of them are live concerts, some taken from the artists´ own tapes. 15 albums were issued. For more on Marte Röling and her art, click here.
