Earlier European/Dutch Philips centre labels tend to be a different colour or say 'Minigroove':
Bengt-Arne Wallin - Old Folklore In Swedish Modern (P 08214 L, 1962) has the most similar centre label I could find.
So I figure this was released in 1962. If it was later they probably would've used the band name The Electrosoniks like they did for the US release. Then Tom released Tom Dissevelt - Fantasy In Orbit. Round The World With Electronic Music By Tom Dissevelt in '63, by which time Philips had changed their Dutch centre labels again. -

referencing The Fascinating World Of Electronic Music (LP, Compilation, Reissue, Remastered) WABB-101
Can anyone comment on the pressing quality and fidelity of this reissue? -
WABB-101 Vinyl is quality, flat, 180gish. Clean w little to no noise. Dynamic. Feels like a fresh copy of something I would have pulled out of a dusty bin in the late 70s. A Fun ride through electronic music history.
