Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 ...Enjoyed Mal's Aussie labels so much that I thought I'd start a sister thread devoted to labels from South Africa! Here are a few fairly recent purchases of mine: ...no US or UK 45 on that one... ...can't get this to scan very well but in case you can't see it, it's "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons - on HMV! ...this one comes in a pic sleeve. Sadly it;s a picture of a mountain rather than of Jackie, but never mind! ...love the tri-centre AND the misprint title! ...don't think there's a US 45 of this one either! One of the best of the many Jimmy lewis songs that Bro' Ray recorded. ...just a great pop soul record in every way! Will post more up when I have time. Any further contributions?

Guest Brett F Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I read somewhere that Lebanon had a pressing plant up to 1975 and the outbreak of the civil war ended all that, seems a strange place for soul (American) records to be pressed, can understand the African releases, i read that Al Bell at Stax wanted to reach out to the African people with the soul music they released.

Somewhere in the attic there's a Southern Rhodesian Tri-Centre Chubby Checker "At the Discotheque" EP, that I really need to find and scan, I think... I've also got som other nice SA tri-centres that I'll dig out and scan when time allows, including the Essex "Easier Said Than Done", Mary Wells "Keep Me In Suspense", the Swingin' Medallions "Double Shot Of My Baby's Love" etc. So much to scan, so little time!

Brett I came very close to buying the Drifters' "Sweets For My Sweet" on an Indian London 78 a few months ago, but the bidding war got a bit silly for me so I dropped out. I don;t like it as much as I like the Searchers' version anyway... The fellow who was selling it is a pal of mine, and he has loads of Indian 78s including what, he tells me, is probably the only Indian 78 of a Motown record, "Baby Love" on Stateside! Ian did have loads of Indian Tamla Motown 45s - the best of which must have been the Four Tops "Helpless" - but he hasn't got them anymore. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
