Nick Taylor Rhodesia Map 1973

• Written By – John Edmond

Unique South African Release predating Zimbabwean independence, created by Rhodesian Singer/Songwriter John Edmond, who, in 1973, driven by his observations of - and experiences with - the Rhodesian military, had an idea that the Rhodesian market would be receptive to a "Troopie Record". His idea did not receive enthusiastic endorsement from the music industry and so John, at his own expense, produced this album with the assistance of South African Singer Songwriter Nick Taylor. The release was an instant success and raced up the local music charts. Although "Songs Of Rhodesia" did not contain any army or military songs, its success did confirm John's suspicion that a "Troopie Record" would be a popular seller. Due to other pressures and commitments at that time, the "Troopie Record" idea was shelved for a time although he did produce an album entitled "Life in Rhodesia" which was a hit for the New Zealand duo, the GREENSTONES.
