    As some may know, I collect AC/DC vinyl from all over the world. I'm trying to manage the different pressings in a table.

    Now I have a few questions about the pressings from Africa.
    You can find pressings from South Africa, Rhodesia, Zambia and Zimbabwe on the internet.
    But since, for example, Zimbabwe was called Zimbabwe-Rhodesia before 1980 (and even earlier only Rhodesia), I wonder whether there really are pressings from Rhodesia and Zimbabwe or whether they are identical pressings (the designation ATC xxxx apparently applies to all these pressings)?
    My knowledge so far:
    Black and red label: South Africa
    all red label: Zambia
    white label: Zimbabwe
    And Rhodesia?
    Or are those with the white label before 1980 Rhodesian and then Zimbabwean? Or are there no Rhodesian pressings at all?

    Who can bring light into the darkness?

    White labels on Rhodesian Bon pressings and the earliest Zimbabwe pressing of BIB.
    Then Zimbabwe labels were also red and black. Not seen a Zimbabwe FTATR, early copies may also still have had white labels.

    Yes, and they're the only two from Zambia so far. There is also a Rhodesian Double Dynamite, don't know if it was re-issued as 2 Originals of... in Zimbabwe though. If anyone turns up either as Zambian pressings, that'd be a first.
    Congrats on your book arriving!
