Jim's South African Albums

Hi Everyone,
I was browsing through an old issue of the "Record Collector" magazine the other day, and I noticed that Jim had a series of albums released only in South Africa.
Far as I know three "Souvenier" albums (which played at 16rpm), and The Jim Reeves Star album" (with rumours of a German release) were only released over there. The "Jim Reeves Star Album" had the track "Teardrops on the rocks" included and included a life-size pull-out replica of Jim but no other track details have ever been found regarding this and the other rare releases.
Can anyone please shed any more light on these recordings? or any info on any other albums released only in South Africa.
cheers
GARRY
