kimbozw 1st Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumColombus - Milky Ways | A query message sent to Shuki Levy's website has just come back with the following:
" Shuki did compose and record as Colombus, the English version was performed by Shuki. Moshe Naim was Shuki's uncle. The album was recorded at Moshe Naim’s house in the countryside of France. :) "
My previous post concerning Moshe Naim has been deleted to avoid causing confusion. Other references to Moshe on 45cat have been removed too.
Thanks for your input Fokeman.

No. 1 - Norway, UK, USA, Australia

On the pressing of the album in South Africa and Rhodesia, track B5 was sanitized by the masking of the expletive word wherever it occurred, by a combination of added explosive sounds and by reducing the volume of the recording in part. The censors had their way.
