Does anyone have any background on the Ridge label, active in the 50s 
and 60s (at least) in South Africa. It seems that they licenced stuff 
from various US independents, among them, a record I just acquired -- 
a 1961 78 of the Paul Revere and Raiders pre-Columbia hit Like Long 
Hair b/w Sharon (Catalogue TA 369) originally released on Gardena in 
the states. The a-side is an instro similar to Nut Rocker by B Bumble 
and Stingers. The B is a somewhat rockabilly track featuring Mark 
Lindsay on vocal. Rather neat to find it on 78!
