Internet no help - but this site is clearly compiled by musical archivists who know what they're dealing with ! Any clues ? All three of the downloads are no longer available by the way. (I'm doing an unofficial PhD in South African music by the way) Thanks for the posts - real gold here.magicmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613679882945060888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-86360924574371519902014-10-02T18:37:44.383+01:002014-10-02T18:37:44.383+01:00The links don't seem to be working - would you...The links don't seem to be working - would you please re-upload these compilations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-30925512413342917622014-02-26T23:15:09.200+00:002014-02-26T23:15:09.200+00:00Nick weighed in with these notes on "Black Ca...Nick weighed in with these notes on "Black Cat":<br /><br />"<i>It sounds like there are three vocalists but the only singer I can hear clearly is Thoko Mdlalose. Not sure who the other two are, but if the song is indeed from 1963, it could be any of the following: Sarah Mabokela, Doris Molifi, Pinkie Mseleku, Mary Rabotapi, etc. When Rupert Bopape came along in 1964, he started recording Mavuthela vocal jives with these ladies who were already contracted to Gallo. These ones were actually the first to record under the Mahotella Queens name but Bopape brought new girls in to replace them all pretty soon.</i>"<br /><br />Thanks Nick for these details!Siemon Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164680406742335680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-82886947173304343762014-02-26T21:08:06.394+00:002014-02-26T21:08:06.394+00:00Thanks Fredrik for the kind words and Chris for co...Thanks Fredrik for the kind words and Chris for commenting!

(I could only guess) You will have noticed I am sure that the version I posted last night is indeed slower, and is instrumental.

To be hand-delivered this historic material easy as 1-2-3 is almost incomprehensible. We are so insanely lucky.
