kimbozw 30th Aug 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumPaloma San Basilio - Sombras (Feelings) (1975) | B3 was known in english as WE MAY NEVER LOVE LIKE THIS AGAIN, i think. Paloma was Spain's Eurovision entrant in 1985.
|
kimbozw 28th Jul 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumBlåblus - Better Days Are Coming (1976) | Better known (outside Sweden) as Blue Swede.
|
kimbozw 6th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumTubeway Army - Tubeway Army (1978) | when you gotta go, you gotta go, zab. :-)
|
kimbozw 29th Jan 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumVicki Brown - From The Inside (1977) | Stevie Langer should read Lange I assume.
|
kimbozw 10th Dec 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - With The Beatles (1963) | Good memory, Frater. I recall vinyl singles jumping back in the day. May have been as my hifi and stylus needle was not the best in quality.
|
kimbozw 14th Oct 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumBob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (1975) | The earliest chart entry for this album (that I know of) was 28 Jan 1975 in Sweden.
|
kimbozw 14th Sep 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumLuv' - With Luv' (1978) | For track A5 i don't think the Italian composers are correct. They seem to relate to the track DON JUANITO DE CARNAVAL but that is absent from this disc.
|
kimbozw 22nd Aug 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumAlessi Brothers - Words And Music (1979) | The only chart position I know for this album was as follows:
No. 14 - Rhodesia [March 1980].

|
kimbozw 23rd May 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumJean-Luc Ponty - Enigmatic Ocean (1977) | Daryl Stuermer got around in various sessions over the years, it seems. I recall him from Frida's SOMETHING'S GOING ON album in 1982.
|
kimbozw 23rd May 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumGroep Twee / Group Two - Dink Jy Darem Nog Aan My? (1972) | thanks, Mr Lobbers. I was moreso referring to the fact that the Dutch lyrics seem far removed from anything about pistols. :-) As is often the case, cover versions in different languages may have lyrics which are about a totally different subject altogether.
|
kimbozw 22nd Mar 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumGroep Twee / Group Two - Dink Jy Darem Nog Aan My? (1972) | nothing about pistols in the Afrikaans lyrics. YOU ARE MY GIRL is the meaning of the title. A love song.
|
kimbozw 15th Mar 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumMireille Mathieu - Gefühle (1981) | I recall seeing B4 on a TV show from Europe once. Lots of drama and head movements from Miss Mireille on that one. Comme toujours ...
|
kimbozw 21st Oct 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumDon Ameche And Frances Langford - The Bickersons Fight Back (1962) | i remember hearing recordings of this duo on the radio from time to time back in the day. smile.
|
kimbozw 5th Jul 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumRagnar Bjarnason - Ragnar Bjarnason (1971) | It looks like there are other Icelandic versions of english songs on the album too. I wonder which.
|
kimbozw 5th Jul 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumChimurenga - Tok Din Tok (1983) | Unusual group name for Sweden. The word Chimurenga more commonly associated with Zimbabwe.
|
kimbozw 26th Mar 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Police - Synchronicity (1983) | The only world vinyl pressing of this to include track B5? [on CD and/or cassette only elsewhere it seems].
|
kimbozw 24th Mar 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumDepeche Mode - Music For The Masses (1987) | Perhaps they ran out of the normal labels temporarily and adopted the "waste not want not" mentality, using up whatever was available, regardless.
|
kimbozw 10th Mar 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - 1 (2000) | PPM peaked at No. 2 in the yook and No. 3 on the three main USA pop charts. Didn't reach No. 1 anywhere that I am aware of.
|
kimbozw 24th Jan 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumWanda Arletti - Love Power (1969) | Track B3 composed by THE BATS.
|
kimbozw 7th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumAgnetha Fältskog - Eyes Of A Woman (1985) | This may have been the final LP on the Sunshine label of the GBL catalogue number series.
|
kimbozw 4th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumDavid Crosby / Graham Nash - Wind On The Water (1975) | at a distance i thought this was the Bellamy Brothers. not so.
|
kimbozw 17th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumFamily Affair - Family Affair | year of release? not before 1976 in any event.
|
kimbozw 8th Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTed Gärdestad - Undringar (1972) | The video is unavailable on my side of the pond. In any event the folks who became ABBA sang backing vocals on a number of the songs on this album.
|
kimbozw 1st Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumColombus - Milky Ways (1976) | 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.

kimbozw 27th Apr 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Rolling Stones - Goat's Head Soup (1973) | A selection of global pop chart peaks for this album:
No. 1 - Norway, UK, USA, Australia
No. 2 - Sweden, Netherlands, France, Germany, Rhodesia
No. 8 - Finland.
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.

kimbozw 26th Mar 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumPastellerna - Närbild (1975) | 2 ABBA cover versions included.

|
kimbozw 12th Mar 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumWizex - Vägen Hem (1989) | A2 looks to be a cover version of a Norwegian song (which one, i know not), and B1 a cover version of a Danish Eurovision song with a similar title.
