These charmin' dancing couples happily demonstrates the possibilities of the Philicorda Organ. Philicordas were made in the early sixties in Holland by Philips (that's where their name comes from...). The back cover says: "Demonstration record. Not for sale". Sid Hamilton was the artist alias of Pierre Palla, who was born with the name Peter Pala (1902-1968). Well, what's wrong with this name? In 1922 he started as a pianoplayer in the Theater Orchestra of Max Tak in Theater Tuschinsky in Amsterdam. In 1928 he became an adviser and player of the organ and piano factory of Phillips in Germany. He did a lot of radio and televisionwork until his retirement in 1967.
