[78-L] Jan August, Piano magic: album, series, catchphrase?

Hi Stephen,
 
I have this same album.  Mine came with 2010 in it.  It also says Piano Magic on the disc.  As for other Diamond Jan August discs I have 2009, 2032 (came separately), 2069 and 2078.  All say Piano Magic on them.  So would appear to be a catch phrase for Jan August discs. Rhythm Stylists is also below his name on all the discs.  I only have one other Diamond and it's of Jerry Cooper "Voice with a heart."

Regards,
Glenn

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?
