 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Just picked these up at a chazza here in Canada Springbok Hit Parade 27 Springbok Hit Parade 28 Of course apart from the obvious question of 'How did they make it to Canada, and its west coast?', I have a question. I know what Springbok Radio was and its great history. I wonder though, if these are all the product of South African studios/ studio musicians or did EMI cross pollinate tracks from other series in other countries? Quality is overall not too bad with the version of Bohemian Rhapsody on 27 being quite tasty. Amy |

 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | Wow! They did Bo-Rap? I never spotted that one. I have previously sound checked a couple to see if they contain the same cover versions as the UK mfp "Hot Hits" etc, and they don't. I believe they are purely of South African making - a local studio group. I know of no equivalent series in the world, over such a long time-span which they could have been borrowing from. That said, is the version of Bo-Rap the same version as this (the only cover version I know of)? A give-away is the closing line, where the Top of the Pops recording below goes, "Nothing really matters much to me" - an unnecessary "much" inserted for no reason! |
