kimbozw 29th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - Encore ELO (1976)	looks a bit like a junior school art class "design the cover for the new ELO compilation" type design IMHO
kimbozw 28th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album ABBA - Alternative ABBA (1991)	Zimbabwe ABBA compilation
kimbozw 28th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Tickle Me (1965)	rare Elvis southern african LP
kimbozw 16th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - The Best Of Top Of The Pops 1984 (1984)	it's fairly rare to see someone one recognises on the cover of one of these cover version albums. :-)
kimbozw 11th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Hey Jude! (1970)	South African HEY JUDE pressing
kimbozw 4th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 20 (1972)	i think that the RHODESIA HITS OF THE WEEK and PICK OF THE POPS [both series on sale in Rhodesia back in the day] used the same recordings from the SPRINGBOK HITS series
kimbozw 3rd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 20 (1972)	similar compilations from southern africa include the SPRINGBOK HITS series, the RHODESIA HITS OF THE WEEK series, and the PICK OF THE POPS series; similar type of production and vocal quality on all the aforegoing :-)
kimbozw 1st Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Agnetha Och Linda - Nu Tändas Tusen Juleljus (1980)	Isn't B2 meant to be "Hej Mitt Vinterland"?
kimbozw 30th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Billy Joel - An Innocent Man (1983)	the Zimbabwe release was on same label with same catalogue number. South African version would have had a glossy sleeve.
kimbozw 27th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - The Wit And Wisdom Of Margaret Thatcher (1983)	a whole side for her wit, and another for her wisdom. :-)
kimbozw 26th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Vangelis O. Papathanassiou - Earth (1973)	i like COME ON and HE-0 the most. I acquired the CD of this album in Athens about 10 years back. Robert Fitoussi was later known as F-R David, his big hit was WORDS in 1982/83.
kimbozw 25th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - King Of The Whole Wide World (1962)	A fairly rare Elvis album, a southern-africa-only release
kimbozw 25th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album ABBA - I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do (1975)	A bit of a long-winded album title perhaps. Better than simply "ABBA" though, IMHO
kimbozw 13th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album ABBA - Unforgettable ABBA (1989)	this must have been one of the last releases on the Sunshine label in South Africa. The company never issued any Compact Discs to my knowledge. I don't have a scanner which will scan LP size covers but the sleeve photo of ABBA used on this compilation on the front cover was pretty much the same as the Gimme Gimme Gimme single sleeve used in most places
kimbozw 6th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (1985)	It's likely that the catalogue number for the South African pressing is identical. I am not sure what the D or J denote, as such.
kimbozw 5th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (1985)	it does look Zimbabwean to me. Label quality and indeed vinyl quality was usually superior in South Africa, not to mention sleeves of course (glossy in South Africa; unglossy matt in Zimbabwe)
kimbozw 3rd Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (1985)	Sadly Marillion failed to reach any album sales chart in Southern Africa. The band's sole claim to fame in the region was the song KAYLEIGH which although it did not feature on a sales chart did find its way onto two airplay/popularity charts in South Africa with peaks of #1 on Radio 5 and #13 on Capital Radio
kimbozw 2nd Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Joe Jackson - I'm The Man (1979)	the chart peak for this was #12 on 24 may 1980 when the country of manufacture had been known as Zimbabwe for 5 weeks; other known chart peaks were #12 in UK, #22 in USA, #25 in France, #33 in Holland and #81 in Australia
