Thanks Brian - I read you blog quite frequently as well as SA Rock Digest. Keep up the good work!
DeleteReceived Comment from Mr Ken Talbott:
Delete"Really nice to see all the albums listed. One of the reasons which helped to make this series successful was that amongst the singers used to record the covers was Stevie and Mutt (Robert John Lange). Stevie has gone on to be a voice coach to Robbie Williams and Blue, and Mutt has written top hits like the Brian Adams "All I do I do for you". When recording these albums it became apparent that Mutt had a super critical ear. He would often comment on details which no one else could even hear. Although hard work, those hours spent at the EMI studios in Pritchard Street Johannesburg have turned out to be worth it"
Wow this brings back memories, I had all the albums from the age of 9. I wish I had of kept them all. I still remember the words to all the songs. Thanks so much, I was looking for a song, could not find it on Google then remembered the Springbok Hit Parade LP's. Thanks so much
Deleteare there 2 versions of springbok? iMy copy is totally different from the one here,It has a gatefold sleeve http://darnall42s70sstuff.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/springbok-21-mfp-south-africa-1975.html
ReplyDeleteNot sure... I have photos of both sleeves ... however same music.

DeleteWow...was inserting all my record collection in my PC. All my Springbok record covers are in quite bad shape and THANKS to you, my catalogue Springbok covers look amazing. Thanks again!! Stef
ReplyDeleteI'm from the newer generation and are extremely interested in the springbok hit parade, the utmost best music of its time. I would just like to ask if you know of a site where the full hit singles could be downloaded.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this site and for preserving the history for the coming generations!
Ek's verheug en aangename verras toe ek op die inligting afkom - n fantastiese samevatting van my "goue oues". Baie dankie. Uitstekend gedoen.
ReplyDeleteGee wizz! Great stuff you got here! Thanx for all the effort to keep this piece of 'history' in tact. Well done. Too a trip down memory lane now!
ReplyDeleteFor Springbok Hits 28 you say that Jonathan Butler's 'I'll Be Home' is on this. I can confirm that this is the same song as the Flamingos one.
ReplyDeleteHey macloud, You inspired me to go out and build a complete collection of all these fantastic LPs! Many of these LPs are more than 40 years old now. The crackle and hiss when playing these tracks on a turntable gives my listening experience a "retro" feel! What a beautiful trip down memory lane. Thanks for organizing all these LPs!
ReplyDeleteTrack 9, Springbok Hit Parade - Sing Out A Song performed by The Outlet ( Group consisted of Peter Vee and R Schroder ) they also performed Co-Co Track 10, Best Of Springbok Hit Parade Vol.1, although The Sweet also sang the song. Great site. Keep It Up!!!
ReplyDeleteThx for the info - updates tables accordingly
DeleteWhich site can I download all the albums for my mom? I still remember these and I know she loves them so I would really like to download all their albums for her. Thanks for any help you can give.
ReplyDeleteHi - unfortunately the Springbok versions was cover versions. There was a CD release:
Deletehttp://springbokhits.blogspot.com/p/springbok-selection.html
However, even this is scarce to find. Recently 44 "new" albums were released - do a search for springbok hit parade on qobuz.com and Amazon. I haven't checked how they match with the original records
i want to collect the whole series where can i find the ones i still don't have?
ReplyDeletei am trying to collect the whole series. please confirm the series stopped at no 74/ where can i find the ones i still need?
ReplyDeleteYes - series stopped at 74.
DeleteHowever a series of CD's (Springbok Selection) was published.
Recently Ster Musiek has released 44 digital Springbok Hit Parade Albums.
Auction sites is a great place to look for LP's.

ReplyDeleteSome on the list has a collection of my grandpa. He treasures it. :)

ReplyDeleteHi guys. I am looking for the song Midnight Moonlight. I do not know who sang it. All I know that it is a oldie
ReplyDeletePossibly Old & In The Way - Midnight Moonlight (1973)?
DeleteI only need 11 LP's to complete my entire set. Sadly no's 4; 33; 48; 60; 63; 64; 66; 67; 71; 73 & 74 are still eluding me.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know if they will ever put this on CD for us please?
ReplyDeleteBest music collection
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, this blog broke my heart with memories. where can I buy all the springbok hit parade albums?
ReplyDeleteAmazon has published some as MP3 albums - I don't know how they relate to the originals
DeleteSpringbok 21 was actually a fold open golden edition with extra info although there was only one LP. The colours were gold on white mostly.
ReplyDeleteGot photos of that as well - will publish soon
DeleteHi there, is there anyway to download all of the Hit Parades?
ReplyDeleteAmazon has published some as MP3 albums.
DeleteI am looking for a song and I think it's name was "Just (a) one more night". It is a song I remember, from the 70's. Unfortunately, I don't know who sang it. Can somebody help me find it? The lyrics of the chorus, if I remember correctly, goes something like this:
ReplyDelete"Just a one more night,
One more night in my life,
One more night in my life
and I'm gonna be back,
With my woman again"
Then it is repeated.
You can get back to me on biaren@telkomsa.net
Thanks
Dirk
Possibly Bob Dylan - One More Night?
