ELF PROVINCIEN

Elf Provinciën, is owned by the Record company Dureco, that has been around since 1952 (later became Weesp). From 1969 that they come up with the Elf Provincien label, on which exclusively focused on the Dutch songand on instrumental music (especially the accordion music very popular at the time). Well-known artists found their way to this label: Ben Cramer, Pierre Kartner, Corry Konings, Wilma, Jacques Herb, Anja and Johnny, De Kermisklanten, Gebroeders Brouwer, etc. The first LPs date from 1969, the last from 1979. In these 10 year more than 500 titles have been published. Dureco had the pleasant habit of providing EVERY side of the album (the A and B side of singles and LPs) with a number, the so-called Du-number. Using this song, which they also used for all their other labels, such as Pink Elephant, Blue elephant and Capri, it is possible to make a complete chronological list of everything that came out with Dureco, which was quite a lot when you consider that. the first LP on Elf..
