Posted June 6, 201014 yr NOW SOLD - SORRY TO ALL THOSE WHO MISSED OUT! Edited June 8, 201014 yr by TONY ROUNCE
June 8, 201014 yr Blimey..............new one to me...always loved the trk on the LP and often wondered why it never got a 7" press as it's obviously THE standout trk on that LP - wonder if anybody going to the World Cup might have a look in the (humungous) Koh-I-Noor record/s store in Jo'burg for a copy or two? Impressive piece...MRez
June 8, 201014 yr Had some serious offers and I've sent out soundfiles today to everyone who asked for them, which was a fair number of you. Hopefully I'll be putting the 'sold' sign up and locking this thread very soon!

Working for a Safa bank, I've had a hunt whenever I've visited and never seen hide not hair of this one. Although there are some nice SA releases out there... I hope someone does get lucky if they do go out there.

Just mind-boggling what I found there in the late-1990s - not loads of Soul but tons of US Jazz / Funk etc etc - and of course, great Afro-Beat stuff - picked clean now but was a very rich digging area back then...I don't think I ever paid more than 8 rand (£1-ish) for anything....MRez

I don't know what it was like in the past, but these days you do have to sift through a lot of clothing and jewellery to get to the people selling bric-a-brac, but the Rosebank Market is quite interesting. I think over the years and with the World Cup coming that they're more geared up to sell tourist trinkets and other stuff.

It was a goldmine 1999 to 2001 - I went 3 times and shipped back over 1000 records each time - the shipping / custom charges were waaaay more than the actual records themselves.......... Wish I could pop back over again now...........M
