more records - Singapore Chinese Pop A Go Go



various artists, featuring Maurice Patton and the Melodians, The Stylers, Etc


Below -- Shaw Plaza. This is a movie theatre and plaza named after the great Shaw Brothers film studios. Shaw Brothers produced an incredible number of Chinese kung fu films, Opera style dramas, AND many early Malay / Singapore films (in particular, many of Tan Sri Datuk Amar P Ramlee's films).

(check out my friend duriandave's blog, Soft Film, for some incredible info about Shaw Brothers films and that whole era)

  1. Glad to see you arrived safely and already on the prowl for music!

    BTW, you might be in touch with her already, but it just occurred to me that Georgi of the hamster and the guppies (formerly of Mod-ified Music) might be able to help you with your project.
