ABOUT THIS RECORD
The Stranglers South African Midnight Summer Dream Ultra Rare 7”
All South African singles are especially rare and highly sought after, but this one appears on Ebay less frequently than most. Check popsike and you will see what I mean.
The B-side erroneously states “Let’s Tango in Paris” but plays “Vladimir and Olga”.
Although the Stranglers.org website lists this record as South African (http://www.stranglers.org.uk/south_africa/s_africa2.htm) this particular single appears to have spent its life in Zimbabwe!
It came in a plain sleeve stamped with “STEAM RADIO, Andrew Fleming Hospital”. If you google Andrew Fleming Hospital then you will find it is in Salisbury, Rhodesia. i.e., the former name of Zimbabwe. And when I bought this single it was accompanied with a $100 Dollar Zimbabwe bank note, which I will include with the item.
Please check the photo very carefully; an “A” has been penned onto the label, and I have not removed the half-peeled sticker for fear of ripping the label. It would be my guess that both offending elements were added by a heathen Steam Radio DJ, who clearly had no idea which was the A-side of this beloved single (having to ink an “A” to remind himself), whilst cataloguing the single as “M575” within Steam Radio’s singles collection.
Thankfully the record is in otherwise great condition and on a positive note I trust that every patient at Andrew Fleming Hospital (at the time) recovered swiftly, due to their joy in listening to the in-house radio station’s great choice of music.
