kimbozw 30th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - High-Energy Double-Dance Volume 01	This peaked at #1 in Zimbabwe and #2 in South Africa on the sales charts. Other #2 peaks for the series in South Africa were for Volume 05 and Volume 07. No. 05 also reached #2 in Zimbabwe. None of the compilations reached #1 in South Africa.
kimbozw 30th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - High-Energy Double-Dance Volume 12	This was the final in this compilation series to reach the Top 20 sales chart in South Africa, charting 01 June 1989 with a #12 peak.
kimbozw 30th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Alphaville - Forever Young	South Africa chart entry date 15 December 1984. Chart peak data: #1 - Norway, Sweden, South Africa #3 - Germany, Zimbabwe #4 - Switzerland #7 - Finland #12 - Holland #91 - Australia #180 - USA.
kimbozw 30th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Springbok Hit Parade 67	For some reason this was the only album in the SPRINGBOK HITS series which reached the Top 20 sales chart in South Africa, charting 20 april 1985 peaking at #20. The official albums chart only commenced in December 1981 however.
kimbozw 30th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Pop Shop Volume 26	South Africa chart entry 04 May 1985 peaking at #3. The highest peak position for any of the POP SHOP compilations albums together with POP SHOP VOLUME 24 which charted 13 October 1984.
kimbozw 30th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - The Final Cut	South Africa chart entry date 16 April 1983. Chart peak data: #1 - UK, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France #2 - South Africa #3 - Holland, Australia, Finland #6 - USA.
kimbozw 23rd Apr 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - 1962-1966 [The Red Album]	also check the album cover. if glossy type cover then it's likely from South Africa, if a matt type cover then from Zimbabwe. That may settle the uncertainty.
kimbozw 22nd Apr 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - 1962-1966 [The Red Album]	it's more the print font which resembles a South African pressing to me
kimbozw 16th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Alan Garrity - A Song For You	Track A1 seemingly a cover version of the italian song PER ELISA by Alice. Composer is Battiato
kimbozw 16th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Various - Now That's What I Call Music 01	Based on the UK LP series but with different tracks altogether
kimbozw 16th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Various - Now That's What I Call Music 05	I think that this is the album which included a free 12" single in pinkish coloured transparent vinyl with Jermaine Stewart's WE DON'T HAVE TO on one side and David Bowie's UNDERGROUND on the other
kimbozw 16th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - 1962-1966 [The Red Album]	the label looks more like a South African pressed one to me
kimbozw 16th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Jim Reeves - Jim Reeves' Souvenir Album	thanks tony p. it seems that this type of LP was not uncommon in south africa from the forum comments you linked.
kimbozw 14th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Jim Reeves - Jim Reeves' Souvenir Album	does anyone know of other albums which played at 16 and two thirds RPM in order to permit 15 tracks on each side?
kimbozw 14th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album ELO - Time	This one reached the following chart peaks: #1 - UK, Sweden, Holland, Germany #2 - Norway, South Africa #3 - Australia #4 - Finland #15 - Zimbabwe #16 - USA #28 - France.
kimbozw 14th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album ABBA - Waterloo	Chart highs for this one: #1 - Sweden, Norway #4 - Finland #6 - Germany, Rhodesia #18 - Australia #28 - UK #145 - USA.
kimbozw 14th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Juluka - The Good Hope Concerts	no chart entry for this one in South Africa.
kimbozw 14th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Chicago - Chicago 16	Chart peaks for this one: #9 - USA #11 - Germany #19 - South Africa #22 - Australia #44 - UK.
kimbozw 10th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Springbok Hit Parade 32	Joe Dolan's song failed to reach the Springbok Top 20 sales chart but was a hit on Radio 5's airplay/popularity chart not based on sales
kimbozw 10th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Springbok Hit Parade 60	these album covers inspired the name of a South African band 20+ years later on - "SPRINGBOK NUDE GIRLS" :-)
kimbozw 7th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Springbok Hit Parade 11	yes, the selection of tracks included on the SPRINGBOK HITS series must have been based on some of the most popular selling records at the time. BIANCA did not reach the Top 20 singles sales chart at the time in South Africa but was perhaps bubbling under or in the vernacular referred to as "op die drumpel". BIANCA had been a hit in the german language in Germany and elsewhere by FREDDY BRECK and was also recorded i think by GERT POTGIETER another RSA artist. Whether the latter artist released his version as a single i do not know.
kimbozw 6th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Olivia Newton-John / Electric Light Orchestra - Xanadu	Chart peaks for this one: #1 - Norway, Holland, Sweden, Australia, Germany #2 - UK, Finland, Zimbabwe #4 - USA #18 - France.
kimbozw 5th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Caramba - Caramba	thanks to its use in a TV advertisement the song FEDORA was a small hit single in the UK circa 1983 for CARAMBA
kimbozw 7th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Die Star- und Schlager-Kassette	2 tracks by a later ABBA member included here. Includes 3 or 4 swedish singers who went german (including Anna-Lena Löfgren)
kimbozw 7th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Priscilla Coolidge-Jones - Flying	sister of Rita i guess.
kimbozw 29th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Philippe Bécaud, His Piano And Orchestra - Time To Dream	Phillpoe related in some way to Gilbert, presumably?
kimbozw 29th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Leon Russell - Leon Russell	Leon had some famous friends contributing to this album ... :)
kimbozw 27th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Blue Öyster Cult - The Revolution By Night	Yes, ASF was a catalogue number prefix commonly used for albums on the CBS label in Southern Africa. KSF was the prefix used for those on the the EPIC label (sometimes pressed on CBS in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe however)
kimbozw 20th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Rubber Soul	yeah this looks like one of those circa 1981 reissues after EMI returned to Zimbabwe
kimbozw 10th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album U2 - Achtung Baby	poor quality pressed labels from the time of this release. would have been binned elsewhere no doubt. Chart peaks that I know of: #1 - Australia, USA, France #2 - UK #3 - Switzerland, Sweden #4 - Norway #5 - Zimbabwe #7 - South Africa.
