Unforgettable by Natalie Cole

She is replica of her Father's Success, winner of 7 of Grammy Awards 1992 including Album of the year and Song of the year.

Who can resist to have one... but it is not easy to find if you miss the first release in 1992...since a lot of confused people had put their LP and turntable idle in that year if "CD"

haha! CD is half dead already after the past 20 years of effort for the those recording companies, marketing guys of the music media, Philips and Sony had tried all kind of ways to enhance, improve and to change for better sound quality in order to push the LP fans into the deep blue sea at the Cliff!

LP will not die as Music is best in analogue format reproduction with Analogue musical source. Digital muisc is Can Food. LP is a dinner at the Dynasty or Prince... Please be fair to the Can Food too... as it provide us a short term feeling of " Full" in the stomach.., regardless of taste.

I bought this LP from Yau Mongkok....

Tsrai Tsin Best LP

I listened her music since 1976... after 30 years, her voice has been changed, from young Bordeaux Red to the mellow Latour 1959 with some perfume like Petrvs 1961....

She smokes and her voice does not change smoky, she sings effortlessly, probably she has an ultra large lung... her voice spectrum covers 100Hz-15Khz...

This is a fussion Jazz of the popular songs!

An Challenaging test on your Hi Fi system to respond and reproduce the atmosphere...

I like the Third of the first side " Mysterious Girl" composed by tehe Greatest Song Writer Yao Ming.

I rate this best recording sample of Tsrai Chin's LPs.

吳鶯音在美國洛杉磯病逝

在上世紀40年代有「鼻音歌后」之稱的吳鶯音（1922-2009），在美國洛杉磯病逝，享年87歲。吳鶯音與家人居於美國，她前日（17日）凌晨4時病逝，丈夫沈先生、大兒子與三兒子皆陪伴在側。吳鶯音的喪禮將於下周六（26日）舉行。

吳鶯音（原名吳劍秋），寧波人，家境富裕，父母期待她成為醫生，但她立志做歌星，瞞著家人考入上海的電視台，以藝名「錢茵」當上播音員，22歲推出首張唱片，當時吳父購買了唱片也不知道歌者正是自己的女兒。當年上海的紅歌星皆是用兩個字的藝名，如周璇、白光與姚莉，吳加入樂壇後要求用3個字藝名，並堅持保留吳姓。公司的人認為她的聲音悅耳如出谷黃鶯，故改名吳鶯音。由於其歌聲有濃濃的鼻音，成名後有鼻音歌后之稱，她演唱過逾百經典金曲，《明月千里寄相思》、《恨不鍾情在當年》、《斷腸紅》等皆膾炙人口。

吳鶯音與首任丈夫吳先生育有三子，吳先生過身兩年後，她下嫁現任丈夫沈先生。吳大姐接受訪問時曾透露，文革期間曾被誤會是間諜而被批鬥，她曾想尋死，最後打消念頭。後來她獲平反，與沈先生及兒子移民美國，退隱樂壇。1997年吳鶯音跟崔萍、靜婷與劉韻在紅館舉行《金光燦爛耀舞台演唱會》。2000年，吳鶯音在紅館舉行告別演唱會，行蹤亦變得低調。

Louis Amstrong's What a Wonderful Wolrd

Louis Armstrong’s best 20 Golden Songs
A 1986 MCA CD made in Japan
One of the best favourite jazz songs I play most frequently
That Include
La Vie En Rose.
Takes Two to Tango April in Portugal
When the Saints go marching in (live version)
Only you
and
All bets Favourite “what a wonderful world!

If you do not listen to jazz, or you may not have idea on what jazz music is, try this and I am sure you will have a different point of view onJazz.

"What a wonderful world" became world’s popular song and led to more people understand what Jazz music was not until it was included in the soundtrack for the film "Good Morning, Vietnam" in 1987, and, thanks to its new found exposure in the film, it landed at #1 in Australia, becoming Armstrong's biggest hit there. In the film, the song plays over a montage of bombings and other violence.

This 1986 CD is not easy to find but still available.

Teresa Tang

Teresa Tang is one of my favourite Artist for Vinyl audition. Her Voice is like fairy. She had made a lot of Japanese Pressing LPs. Those Japanese LP From Taurus or Polydor is having a very quiet background.

Japanese used to keep their Collection in very good condition. Now There seem more and more Difficult to find her LP in Japan.

I used to have a good friend who stays 40% his time in Japan searching LP for sales in HK, he has been keen in searching Teresa Tang LP for me, but the rpice is becoming Higher. It has been double in 6 years time. I have collected about 80 LPs from Teresa Tang!
