Been hunting through the boxes of yet-to-be-sorted-and-filed 45s for some records to scan for Ace and Kent projects this morning. While doing so I pulled out several bunches of non-US or UK releases to continue with the Australian and SA threads that Mal and I started elsewhere.

Here's a few of the Lebanese-pressed 45s that came to light on the trawl, staring with some colourful ones!:

...this is actually translucent green with blue flecks, but the scanner sees it differently!

...love the titular typo!

...and some not so colourful ones, starting with a different Otis Redding to the one that's posted up elsewhere:

Howabout this one - no UK release AND in a Lebanese Tamla Motown sleeve?:

Let's finish off with a few demos. Not aprticularly attractive, but I'm still glad to have 'em:

Coing soon, some interesting Jamaican releases....

Now that's just showing off

used to bid on some of these a few years back when the guy was selling them on ebay.

never got any of the multi coloured ones from him,

did pick up a donna summer - "hostage" from him though, something i wouldn't have thought would have been released in Lebanon.

cheers

...so, it was you who pushed the prices up then!

I got lots of other 45s from Walid at this time, including some reggae items and a nice Lebanese version of The Olympics' "Hully Gully" by a local female singer. He had Eddie Holman "I Surrender" on a Lebanese SLD (I Think) a few times, but I always got outbid on that one, unsurprisingly...

Yeah, about 3 years ago - I didn't think they were that expensive, about £20 or so - I know I got one
