Perhaps we had one advantage being down South, radio was our only source to find new bands on LM radio hits of the week. Always swung over to hear British and American normally indicated which side of the pond they originated, plus standings on both sides.
Wee piece of our history, shortwave station broadcasting to South Africa and Rhodesia from Mozambique back then....
On 12 October 1975, following Moçambican independence from Portugal in June of that year, LM Radio facilities were nationalised and the station closed down on 13 October 1975.

I used to listen to 'Jimmy Saville's Old Record Club'... eek.., this was about 1980, long before he was posthumously caught abusing girls. He played some really obscure stuff from the 70's that I would never had heard otherwise.
Good for something eh?
Some strange things happened back then, still never altered memories, or any stranger than we see now. We tuned in via different places/continents, music brought many together.
