Lovely gallery. I take it there are very hard to find because the probably sold by the handful only?

I recently started again to collect german soul 45s and I discover releases that are new to me almost every day. How many 60s/Northern Soul 45s do you think were released down under?

There are some lovely records there, I like the odd foreign release.

my Aviator is a South Rhodesian Issue of Marvin Gaye

Picked up this Brazilian Atco 7" 33 1/3rpm cheaply of ebay last week, always intrigues me as to why they would release these records.

The Marvin Gaye looks well smart, especially with the Tri center... there is a chap in Beriut who was selling soul 45's some years ago, I sent USA dollars for some interesteting bits, never heard from him again!! laughs

Australia you can understand, but South Rhodesian????

Thanks, it is very interesting, country of origin is stamped in the run out groove.

have you noticed that these foreign releases always seem to be pressed on heavy weight vinyl, far better than europeon counterparts.

All the best

Some of the south africa releases are interesting as well!

Has a thread of Non European releases been done before?Obviuosly excluding US & CAnadian releases

We should have a week of each continent Africa / Australasia/South America and Asia releases

Most (all?) of the publisher's royalties for New Zealand at this time went through Australia & that is the publisher's royalty mark, not the country of press. Definitely a New Zealand press on the later NZ Philips variation. I collect the New Zealand presses & can try to get some pics up if anyone cares.

George from sydney

His Mom's house is apparently chocka with them

very nice images there mate

I have been trying to find aussie soul pressings here in melbourne for a bit now but they appear to be dead scarce.

wouldn't mind a nice copy of Bettye Swann on Astor.

Found this scan on popsike, Had a very big price to go with it.

Bloody nice though.

Yeah that one is reasonably hard to come by, there are a couple of other more accessable JW p/s EPs on Coral as well.

Postman Just Been. Jackie Wilson. "I,m The One To Do IT. / Higher And Higher. Austalian Coral. Item No. 150329415996. Worked Out In U.K Sterling At £10.55. Made My Day. P.s Ex. Condition And Company Sleeve.

Nigel Loveless in Perth probably has the best Aussie release collection, Frank Driscoll & George Coumbis, as said, have pretty good rarities, but do they have Larry Santos on Festival?...Hmmm I dunno

Can't see how anything's going to top Jessica James, but here's a few more that have come to light during my ongoing filing trawl:

...hasn't scanned well, but it's Archie Bell & the Drells' "I Love My Baby"

- how come this 70s modern/southern crossover gem got an Aussie issue but not a UK one?????...

plus a reggae classic!:

and a couple of New Zealand issues:

...more to follow as I find 'em!

is there a "complete discography?

yeah, global dog has complete australian 45 lists on their pages.

3 Festival presses

3 Tamla Motown promos that some bugger blacked out with marker pen!

Reparata & The Delrons - Panic .......... NZ press.

My first time scanning & uploading. Hopefully a few more to come!

Loving the thread & thought I should contribute what I can.

Really cool that Australian EMI realised that "Why When Love Is Gone" was worthy of being an 'A' side!!!!

Agreed! Funny thing is that the labels are reversed on this one!??

Damn, I like the look of that James Brown. I have 4 of his on New Zealand King & 1 on NZ Zodiac.

I know Frank Driscoll has Larry Santos and Gloria Scott 'Too Much Lovemaking' on Australian 45s as I gave them to him in the late 90s, unless he's sold them of course!

Here's a nice one which didn't get a UK 45 release - but did come out in Europe and the states.

Here's another one - on RCA this time, from Sam Cooke:

Many of the the Global Dog Aussie label listings are, unfortunately, very incomplete, more holes in them than Swiss cheese ...

I've got Jackie Day EP with picture cover on W&G NZ , Before it's too late , Oh ,What heartaches and the 2 flip sides.Best,Eddie

Does anyone own the HMV Motown releases? I think there are six of them. If anyone has any could they scan them at 300dpi and send them to hitsville2648@earthlink.net please. Free mags on offer as usual.

Also.....(Might as well stick my neck out eh?), has anyone an OZ copy of The Volumes - I Love You b/w Dreams - HMV?

TIA

Best,

Dave

Here's another one for the 'collection':

It's Jackie Wilson - "This love is real" on MCA

Lovely tune I reckon!

(Sorry about the lines in the scan)

Just had a quick flick through some motown...will look through everything else at some point.

As we said since you wrote this, it was almost a pleasure to give Oz bits to Frank Driscoll - who was such a gem and collected what many (including those born there like myself), were not fussed about. He always gave you a trade equally as good or better, even if you said not to. I was never one for oz releases and thought I had left any I had back at my mums, but found a few whilst digging through my boxes here properly recently.

The golf is on AGAIN tonight , so I'm bored enough to type them out (in case anyone is interested in knowing). Apologies if they have already been mentioned. Obviously nothing rare - just odd bits I picked up - and now I guess have sentimental value :

Dusty Spingfield - What's It Gonna Be - (Phillips) - found 2 of these

Since I Found You - Maxine Brown (Phillips)

The Jive Five - Crying Like A Baby (CBS)

5th Dimension - Train, Keep On Movin' (Liberty)

Jackie Wilson - I'm The One To Do It (Coral)

Miss DD Phillips - Hey Little Girl (Festival)

The O'kaysions - Girl Watcher (Stateside)

Jackie Wilson - A Woman, A Lover, A friend (Brunswick)

Wigan's Ovation - Skiing In The Snow (Interfusion) - errr, a joke gift I will turn into a kitchen clock one day!

Natural Four - Can This Be Real (Buddah)

JJ Williams - Love Market (Polydor)

Al Wilson - Now I Know What Love Is (Liberty)

Dee Dee Warwick - Funny How We Change Places (Private Stock) - possibly picked up at yours Ady, if red wine serves me correctly?

The Mirettes - Ain't You Trying To Cross Over (MCA)

Walter Jackson - It's All Over (CBS)

James Walsh Gypsy band - Cuz It's you, Girl (RCA)

Gene Chandler - There Was A Time (Coral)

Linda Jones - What've I Done (To make You Mad) (Warner Bros.)

....you get the gist
