I won an eBay auction for "Jan August: Piano magic"; it's an album from
Diamond Discs "with tones that sparkle" (Cat# D5). The masters later
appeared on Mercury.
The album cover clearly states that the three records inside are:
1. "Tea for two" b/w "A pretty girl is like a melody" (Cat# 2010)
2. "Make believe" b/w "My melancholy baby" (Cat# 2030)
3. "Ol' man river" b/w "Some of these days" (Cat# 2031)
But instead of disc 1, I received: "My shawl" b/w "Without you" (Cat#
2032)
It seems, numerically, to belong to this album, but the problem is that
all four discs have something like a series title "Piano magic" next to
the spindle hole.
My questions are:
1) Was this album released in different versions, with one disc
substituted in the later edition? Or, is the cover just a misprint?
2) Was "Piano magic" a catchphrase that appeared on all of Jan
August's discs, or is it exclusively this album's name?
3) To what does the phrase "Rhythm Stylists" refer, appearing below
Jan August's name on each disc?

Thanks for any help in resolving this.
