LINK REMOVED because someone tattled on me to Blogger and I was sent a stern reprimand. I don't know who owns the rights because the label doesn't exist anymore but if they had written directly to me I would have respectfully removed the link and then directed people to where they can buy a copy but they decided to do things the "legal" way so I will also do things the grown up impersonal way and now direct folks to where they can buy a used copy for a better price.

Here's one on Amazon for $9.60 INCLUDING SHIPPING which is much better than blowing 18-20 dollars on the ones being offered elsewhere in "acceptable" condition. You can see there are new copies for under $8.

I'll add more as I find them.

Piranhas - Zambezi

Finally! I have the alternate version of Zambezi. Here you go Martin (and everybody else of course).

I don't understand why this version is the hard-to-find one when the b-sides on here are right up there with the Piranhas' best work.
I have included the more popular version as well. I know that if you follow this blog and have even a little appreciation for the Piranhas you already have it but if you're anything like me you're disorganized and don't know where the other one is.

Zambezi I
A - Zambezi
B1 - Who Needs You
B2 - Darabukkas

Zambezi II
A - Zambezi
B1 - Bouffant Blue
B2 - Pink Elephants

The Piranhas - Play Kwela!

This 7" was released in 1980 and had the hit song "Tom Hark" which has recently become popular with British football fans. The song was originally recorded in 1953 by a band called Elias and His Zig Zag Jive Flutes and was based on the traditional South African folk music called kwela. Read more HERE.
