Where can I get otherwhite album by James Phillips

That album seems hard to trace, however there are two sources that are still selling James Phillips music. The first is Shifty Records (http://www.shifty.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=34) - which shows a couple of his albums for sale along with the tracklisting. The second is Benjy Mudie's excellent lable Retrofresh which has gone out of its way to re-release all those hard to come by SA albums. He has offerings from James Phillips and the Cheery FL (along with liner, notes, pics and track listing). You can check it out at http://www.freshmusic.co.za/retrofresh.htm. Good luck - I hope that you find it. If I get any response I will pass it on if you leave your email address.
