Yvonne Elliman ‎– Rising Sun (Rhodesia/Zimbabwe) ‎– Vinyl LP Record (VG+)

Record -VG+ 

Cover - VG-

A strong late-70s pop/soul release from Yvonne Elliman, best known for her global hit “If I Can’t Have You.” Rising Sun continues in that polished disco-soul crossover style, blending smooth ballads with mid-tempo grooves and radio-friendly production.

This Zimbabwe (Rhodesian) pressing is a particularly desirable Southern African variant. Pressings from Zimbabwe/Rhodesia were produced in comparatively small quantities and are far less common than UK or US editions. For collectors focusing on African pressings or Bee Gees/RSO-related material, this is a scarce and attractive addition. The alternate sleeve styling seen on some regional issues further adds to its collectibility.

Zimbabwe/Rhodesian pressing. Vinyl condition: VG+. Southern African pressings are increasingly difficult to source in clean condition, and regional variants such as this tend to command a premium over standard UK/US copies in the local collector market.
