Kenya
Top of the Pops releases are known from Kenya, and we suspect that these editions were also on sale in some neighbouring contries, although we cannot confirm which. The main reason for this is that the LP we do have details for is inscribed on the label, "Manufactured by EA Records for Phonogram in E Africa". (EA Records is short for East African Records, a manufacturer based in Nairobi.)
East Efrica as a region has no strict definition, but in the context of trade and commerce (which would come into play when considering the sale of commodities such as records) the most likely suggestion is that East Africa means the countries which formerly made up British East Africa - Kenya of course, plus Uganda, Tanganyika (Tanzania) and Zanzibar.
We are pretty sure of Kenya, since that is where this record was actually pressed, but the other territories remain speculative at present. We will add more details if we are able to determine the correct geographical scope of this, and the presumed other, Kenyan-made LPs.
