A lot of them
were by Aussie artists anyway, not sure why they should have charted in UK....

When I worked in a shop a lot of holiday makers used to come back
from there (and obviously other places) and asked for certain records (yes those round things) and it seemed to catch on more around the mid to late 80's when some radio stations could be picked up online and then of course the good old Stock Aitkin and Waterman machine started with Kylie and anyone else who had an Australian accent. Imports were big business back then as you could buy a record for about £1.50 and sell it for £7 or £8 easily as DJ's were always hungry for new stuff.
