kimbozw 2nd Oct 2019		CD Album Michel Polnareff - La Compilation	Track 1-03. He can certainly hit the high notes in the chorus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLvKcKDjORc
kimbozw 2nd Oct 2019		12" Single Queen - We Will Rock You	Those flexi discs from Poland and Russia (for various artists) spring to mind. Same category mostly I suspect.
kimbozw 2nd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album The Three Degrees - The Three Degrees	still favourites of Prince Charles, I wonder?
kimbozw 2nd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album MFSB - TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia)	Mother Father etc seemingly being the sanitised version of the acronym …
kimbozw 26th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Alan Garrity - Licensed To Sing	The lyrics of this version of TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS have been masculinised (if there is such a word) to apply to a man singing to a woman.
kimbozw 15th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Mike Gibbs - The Only Chrome Waterfall Orchestra	The single NAIRAM taken from this album credits (THE) MIKE GIBBS ORCHESTRA. Michael Gibbs was born in Rhodesia in September 1937 and was a jazz composer, conductor, arranger and producer as well as a trombonist and keyboardist. He released his first album in 1970. He was the director for the BBC TV comedy programme THE GOODIES from 1970 to 1974. He later left the UK to take up a teaching position at Berklee in the USA. On 02 October 2017 he was presented with a BASCA Gold Badge Award in recognition of his unique contribution to music. He was known for his collaborations with vibraphonist Gary Burton, his student, and for his use of rock elements in orchestral jazz. Information thanks to Wikipedia.
kimbozw 7th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Dr. John - Anytime, Anyplace	Dr John seemingly has passed away at age 77. RIP.
kimbozw 20th May 2019		CD Single Johnny Hallyday - 45 Tours De Collection 1	Seemingly this was issued free with an issue of the magazine 45 TOURS DE COLLECTION together with a CD single by Michel Sardou.
kimbozw 17th May 2019		Vinyl Album Edward Woodward - The Edward Woodward Album	This reached the UK Top 20 back in the day. The singing voice of this actor-turned-singer reminds me a little of Tony Christie but with a more theatrical bent (for obvious reasons) ...
kimbozw 7th May 2019		Vinyl Album 石川さゆり (Ishikawa Sayuri) - ベスト14 (Best 14)	Thanks. The transliteration of the singer's Japanese name is Ishikawa Sayuri. The song title may have a similar transliteration so that non Japanese speakers can pronounce the song title or at least they can try to do so! Google translator shows the Japanese word for transliteration as 音訳 - I wonder if that makes sense?
kimbozw 6th May 2019		Vinyl Album 石川さゆり (Ishikawa Sayuri) - ベスト14 (Best 14)	Thanks for the information. What is the transliteration of the title of track A7 for non Japanese speakers?
kimbozw 29th Apr 2019		CD Single Ensemble - Sa Raison D'Être	The full name of this group appears to be "Ensemble contre le sida" or, (en anglais), ANTI-AIDS ENSEMBLE. Consisting of various well known French artists.
kimbozw 24th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Jody Grind - Far Canal	"Far canal" as in - the canal on the far side - sounds innocuous enough ...
kimbozw 23rd Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Jody Grind - Far Canal	Not much airplay on the radio then I suspect?
kimbozw 15th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Olivia Newton-John / Electric Light Orchestra - Xanadu	The song DANCIN' is a version of a track from the 1930s I believe. John Farrar is shown as the composer but back in the 1930s the true composer was someone else of course. Does anyone know the original artist who recorded DANCIN' presumably in the 1930s and the true composer of the song?
kimbozw 10th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Uriah Heep - Fallen Angel	echoes of an old SA magazine called SCOPE … :-)
kimbozw 2nd Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Bobby Vinton - Heart Of Hearts	Bobby's version of the Italian language INNO by Mia Martini on track A3. Track A1 looks like it might also be a version of an original Italian song. I wonder which?
kimbozw 1st Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Marie-Claire Buzy - Insomnies	Artist known simply as BUZY on some releases I think.
kimbozw 25th Mar 2019		12" Single Second Image - Better Take Time (Extended Version)	… and engineered by "Bad Brad". Who was he I wonder?
kimbozw 15th Mar 2019		Cassette Album Various Artists - Fresh Cheese November December 1978	Promo tape. The artist on track 10 is the duo later known simply as MAYWOOD. The recording of SINCE I MET YOU included here is longer than the version released a few months later on single which had the intro and first verse edited out.
kimbozw 6th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Art Garfunkel - Scissors Cut	On track B2 (perhaps not unexpected) Art sings a few lines in the French language. Pronunciation seems fair.
kimbozw 6th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 70s Disco	I avoid those compilations like the plague too. Any compilation issued by Tring is one of the worst culprits … :-)
kimbozw 7th Feb 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Bundu Beat	Music by early Rhodesian pop bands ...
kimbozw 6th Feb 2019		CD Single Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes	WHATEVER IT TAKES is one of those hits which have almost immediate impact the first time one hears them. Included on a 2018 French compilation CD album which I was given ...
kimbozw 4th Feb 2019		Vinyl Album Anna-Lena - Anna-Lena	Track B3 is seemingly a German language version of her Swedish song LYCKLIGA GATAN which in turn was a cover version of the Adriano Celentano Italian language original IL RAGAZZO DELLA VIA GLUCK.
kimbozw 31st Jan 2019		CD Single Luis Fonsi And Demi Lovato - Échame La Culpa	This song name-checks LET IT BE by the Beatles. Just heard it on a French CD compilation from 2018. A bouncy tune. I recall Demi as a contestant on THE APPRENTICE, a TV show which was chaired by Donald Trump several years ago before he became the U.S. President ...
kimbozw 30th Dec 2018		CD Album Kikki Danielsson - Kikkis Bästa	Track 2-02 was by Chips also. Assuming this compilation includes the original version. See 45cat for the Chips single.
kimbozw 24th Dec 2018		CD Album The Climax Chicago Blues Band - The Climax Chicago Blues Band	less is more ...
kimbozw 19th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Dr. John - Anytime, Anyplace	I read somewhere that ABBA's DANCING QUEEN's backing was influenced partly by a Dr. John tune which was not named. Listening to the song SHOO-RA I believe it might be the track. Can I get a witness?
kimbozw 12th Dec 2018		CD Album Dana - All Kinds Of Everything	Contrary to what is claimed in the sleeve notes, Dana's Eurovision winner only peaked at #7 in South Africa [as well as attaining a #11 high in neighbouring Rhodesia]. Despite being a non charter in the U.S.A., the song did rise to #94 up north in Canada.
