Very interesting, thankyou for sharing. I have four singles with the triangle centre, all with different lables, HMV, CBS, Brunswick and London Extended Play - singles I remember listening to as a child in Bulawayo. I had also been looking on Discogs to match up my old vinyls with items listed on there. A couple of them are listed, however, the centre labels are a different colour that are not listed. I assume it's because they were from Rhodesia, but have no idea how to find out. I don't know which vinyls were made in Rhodesia, South Africa or Britain and finding it hard to actually track down the origins. Many others are Gallo. As you pointed out there can be small differences that are tricky to spot unless you know where to look. It would be interesting to understand a little more about how the Record Companies operated then, particularly with sanctions.
@@MsBonikki No problem! Thank you for watching! If some of those records are British they may say “Made In Gt.Britain” on the bottom of the labels, that’s what was typically done on British vinyl records. Triangle centres were only used in the UK in the 1950’s. Some pressings aren’t on Discogs, for example I’ve added some of my Rhodesian pressings onto discogs since they were missing from the database. On some runouts on Rhodesian pressings they can say “Made In S.Rhodesia”, some of your copies may have that, just remember that it wasn’t on every release. As mentioned in the video, pretty much all 45s that have the prong centre will be a South African pressing and Triangles will be Rhodesian. Thanks again for watching!
Fantastic bunch of 45s! Nice to see the Australian "Sample Record Not For Sale" sticker.....I am a label geek ...Look Through Any Window is my second favourite HOLLIES 45 after the AWESOME "I"m Alive!!
@@VagueRANT100 Thank You! I bought the Cliff Aussie single on eBay, when I saw the sample sticker, I knew I had to buy it! The Hollies are one of my favourites of all time, so many good songs!
@@matthewvinyl I am old and have duplicates of Australian 45s from the sixties...if there is anything you might like I would be happy to gift them to you. I am not a seller or a conman,your enthusiasm makes me happy...I am a pensioner,if you pay for postage any 45 I send is Free...no bullshit...if interested get in touch somehow
