kimbozw 4th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumBlondie - Autoamerican | For most of 1981 there was no official album chart published in Zimbabwe. Thus no chart data for this one locally.

kimbozw 29th Mar 2016 | | CD AlbumABBA - Greatest Hits Live | Manufactured in Japan but not necessarily containing live recordings performed in Japan. Slipping Through My Fingers would be from ABBA's TV special on the Dick Cavett Show which took place in 1981. Probably ditto for tracks 05, 09 and 11.

kimbozw 10th Mar 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumDavid Bowie - Low | One of these sold for US$ 1818,50 yesterday according to collectorsfrenzy. It was described there as a white label south African disc. In reality it's a standard Rhodesian issue. :-)

|
kimbozw 28th Jul 2015 | | CD AlbumClannad - Crann Ull | Enya's gaelic real name is Eithne I believe so I don't think she's the one listed
There's a Clannad album from 1982 which does include Enya but the title escapes me

kimbozw 27th Jul 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumShabby Tiger - Shabby Tiger | 20 August 1977 the album charted at #20 on the album sales chart in Rhodesia. The LP had a different cover to this one though. SLOW DOWN was a Top 10 hit single in Rhodesia and South Africa and LOVELY LADY a Top 10 hit in South Africa all in 1977. SLOW DOWN had previously in a slightly different version/mix been a hit single in Holland, Denmark and Sweden back in 1975. Strange that the group failed to chart in the UK with albums or singles.

Track A1 was a hit on the Top 10 disco chart on the same station.
