Miyuki Nakashima best CD album


This is the best CD Album of Miyuki Nakashima best Album, the best collection of her most famous and finest Songs. Every song is very pleasant music and most of them are the creation of Miyuki.
You will not find this album is outdated at all, this is one of the best Albums of her, you can not miss this if you like Miyuki. 60% The Music had been converted into HK Cantonese Songs. You can see how powerful the melody of her songs are..... every songs are familar and her voice is so touching, if you could understand Japanese,... would be even better to read her heart.

The Unfinished music No,1 Two Virgins. Yoko Ono/John Lenon








This is the rare and collection LP if you like John Lenon, who made such a daring Photo Cover. that would created criticism in that time of 60's! The LP is having a sleve that acts a clothes for John and Yoko. When you pull out the sleve, you can see naked John and Yoko.
This is hard to find and not cheap at all. John was much influenced by Yoko in a sense of Oriental "Zen" and liberation in thoughts and John's music.

Byrd at the Village Gate


A Riverside Jazz LP produced in Limited volume, Charlie Byrd Trio and Guests, recorded live at the Village Gate, NYC in 9 and 10 May 1963.
The LP was produced by the remastering team of Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray using Studer A-80 PV MK II, Neumann SX74 Cuterhead with a fresh lacquer.

“They are the best-sounding versions available probably as close to the master tape as any medium can get.” – Fred Kaplan, The Absolute Sound.

Like the 2nd "More (theme from Mondo Cane" on Side 1, it is awesome, beautiful, warm, not that kind of superwide response music, probbably the recording engineer put a lot of hi cut filter, but the tone is mellow, soft and bass is full of punches, right tuned up to the mood of a mini music festival in a night tarvern, like I was celebrating the concluded big purchase order from one customer, opening my bottle of Dom Perignon 1996. watching the big golden bubbles effervescing out the surface and burst into my nose, each bubble brings me the old good day of my joyous episodes. What a great recording!!
This was a piece of gift from a very special Friend!  Thanks from my heart!! It is a WOW LP!!
I rate this Five Star Record!

Highly recommended to buy one!!

The Platters 20 Greatest Hits

When you hear these Song, Only You, The Great Pretender, I'm sorry, Unchanged melody, I am sure you would have the same sentimemtal love feeling about the good old days of the 60's. Only if you are over 50 years old.
This LP was printed in Holland, 20 songs are usually too many on a disk, but these record has a superb recording and printing quality. Quiet and lively. Worth your effort to find one.

Huang Hong Ying Visiting HK


This was her last time I enjoyed one whole night with one of my importamt persons in my life there are Tsuen Wan City Hall, Huang brought the Moscow Triangle Guitars Orchastra to be there to share with us a mixed touches of of Russian music and Chinese Song. So the third Song on this CD is my favourite, "One night in the Moscow Forest" .
This is an Signature Disk and Together I asked her to sign on three of the Lps...That was almost the last night that I had with someone before we broke up. This is another Miletone in my life. but I do think that she would also memorize all these songs listening with me on that night.
