[78-L] Skokiaan was: London -- Made in England?

I love that IN THE MOOD. The language is Ndebele, or so I'm told. This, by the 
way, is the record that proves conclusively that jazz didn't come from Africa.

As I noted, Canadian pressings are from Gallotone matrices. I always wondered 
why they looked odd..and I wonder if they were using tape or still direct to 
disc in that part of the world?
