Title: The 'In' Sounds of Hong Kong!
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 003CD
"Not unlike all the Occidental places in the world, Hong Kong also experienced the beat boom in the mid '60s. Many groups appeared at that time, and some of them left some great records that still today are very fresh and enjoyable. Names like The Mystics, Danny Diaz and the Checkmates, Joe Jr. and the Side Effects or many others took the Hong Kong youth by storm, but no doubt that the most cool and successful group was Teddy Robin & the Playboys. They released four albums, one double album and a big number of 45s, from 1965 to 1969. The double album was a kind of 'greatest hits' and today it's one of the most rare and sought-after collector's items from Asia. Their music ranged, during all the time they were active, from '60s pop, beat, garage, fuzz-punk and psychedelia. To our taste, we wouldn't say that their full discography is ace as they (like so many others by then) recorded some pretty lame pop songs as well. But hell how good the rest is! None of these albums has been reissued in any format, so here is, for the first time ever, a CD compilation of the coolest tracks by Hong Kong's sensation, Teddy Robin & the Playboys."
