  • Description

    Let's sail with this exotic CD compilation - full of rarities from the 1950s - on Bear Family Records into the harbor of Hong Kong, the British crown colony in the south of the Middle Kingdom.

    Our CD from the Land of Dawn in our 'Destination' series is all about music, lifestyle, myths and Far Eastern food and drink.

    And there's a little detour to Fujiyama mountain in Japan!

    • Musical travel companions include Webb Pierce, Jerry Lee Lewis, Moon Kim, the Five Keys, Jackie Lee, Jimmy Bryant and Melvin Smith.
    • The playlist from the 1950s and early '60s features Oriental Hop, Chinese Boogie, Shanghied, Hot Sake, Ching Ching Wong, Hong Kong Blues and other musical highlights.
    • Entertaining and well-founded liner notes and information on the individual artists written by Roland Heinrich and careful re-mastering round off this special project.

    INCLUDES 12 PAGE BOOKLET.
