Mr. Fung of Bolingo answered my pleas and shared the Zhou Xuan box.
Click the cover to get to Zhou Xuan bio and mediafire links to the bilingually-tagged files. Alternatively, you can get them on rapidshare, tagged in chinese only, here: one, two, three, four, five; booklet scans included.
Secondly, our most excellent contributor of late, Remorseful Prober, has a blog now.
Ambuscade From Ten Sides
More shidaiqu and other far east musical gems, lyric transcriptions/translations, a learned culturological commentary, and all-around coolness. Most of the stuff is either out of print, unavailable from european/american retailers, or both. There is no other place to get this music unless you live in China/Taiwan. Do check it out, add to your favorite RSS reader, download the music and leave a comment.
The subsequent Pathe 100 discs would be shared there! although I will link to new posts.
Thanks for these wonderful Chinese albums and the link!
ReplyDeleteI read in on of your earlyer posts you would get your music mostly via blogs. If you like Jazz check this one out:
