In 2003 the global music company EMI was clearing out an old warehouse in Mumbai, India in preparation for its demolition. EMI had been there since the 1920s when it manufactured and distributed records under the Pathe label. In the warehouse, workmen unearthed a trunk with Chinese writing on it and inside were the mother shells of about 800 songs from the thirties and forties. These were the reels used to press the stamper that produced the old vinyl 78s [...] Music as unique as the city in its golden era, a mixture of Eastern and Western influences, blues, jazz, traditional Chinese opera and folk music.

I can't tell you how much I love this!
ReplyDeleteAnge,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and thanks for linking to my blog too. I am glad you found something worth your time.
Mike
Seems you're in mistake about the info, because you're mixing two different albums, Shanghai Lounge Divas Volume 1 and 2; they aren't both the same thing, nor the same songs neither the original musician (Ian Widgery)...but, just give a try, chinese oldies are still beautiful stuff.
ReplyDeleteI never menat to say there are the same.
ReplyDeleteVol.1 has modern remixes by Ian Widgery.
Vol.2 has the original recordings that were used for remixes on Vol.1 and also some extra tunes as a bonus.
Anyway you're showing the front cover from Shanghai's Lounge Divas Volume 2! (the grey pic), a different one from the double cd Volume One, including both the remixed and the original recordings by Ian Widgery...that's the mistake.
ReplyDeleteThank you for correcting me, then.
ReplyDeleteIf you love this project you may wish to find out more & view some of the videos made from Volume 1
