Kong Ling - Christmas In Hong Kong With Kong Ling >>

Kong Ling - Kong Ling And The Fabulous Echoes Volume II
隨著“江玲與回音樂隊 Kong Ling + The Fabulous Echoes + Vic Cristobal = Dynamite! ”專輯的成功﹐鑽石唱片出版了 Fabulous Echoes首張專輯 Those Fabulous Echoes ﹐而且再下一城﹐出版了江玲與回音樂隊第二集 Kong Ling And The Fabulous Echoes Volume II。
這次沒有把 Vic Cristobal加進專輯名字中﹐而 Fabulous Echoes的份量稍為加重了﹐雖然在演奏風格還是沒有Fabulous Echoes自己的專輯那麼濃烈﹐但是多首歌曲都可聽到他們的合聲。另一方面從唱片封套的介紹﹐江玲在選曲上的自主權加重了﹐故她選來多首抒情歌曲﹐所以選曲方面較上一張 Dynamite來得適合﹐不過 Jimmy (Ginny) Come Lately並不適合江玲演唱﹐她在演繹及音準方面都很吃力﹐不過若知道Brian Hyland的原唱版本當年由 Diamond代理﹐那麼唱片公司選來此曲﹐就一點都不稀奇了。專輯中最突出是 South Pacific Twist﹐江玲在歌曲中段加上口音不正的粵語歌詞﹐聽來非常有趣﹐此曲至今仍經常在電台的懷舊節目中播放。
江玲與回音樂隊第二集 Kong Ling And The Fabulous Echoes Volume II (1963/Diamond) Track List:
01 Little Billy Falling Star
02 The End Of The World
03 Take Good Care Of Him
04 It’s Not Easy To Say
05 Roses Are Red
06 Jimmy Come Lately
07 Sukiyaki
08 Que Sera Sera
09 Three Stars Will Shine Ton-night
10 Never In A Million Years
11 Can’t Help Falling In Love
12 South Pacific Twist
以下轉載自唱片封套的介紹﹕
They’re back to-gether again, Kong Ling and the Fabulous Echoes. This time Kong Ling and the boys decided that it would be fun to sing their own personal favourites. Consequently, the selection of material was left entirely to them. Vic Cristobal and the Diamond staff sat back patiently and waited for the fun to begin.
Kong Ling insisted on singing “Can’t Help Falling In Love”, “Three Stars Will Shine To-night”, “It’s Not For Me To Say” and “Never In A Million Years”. The Fabulous Echoes were all in favour of doing “The End Of The World”, “Take Good Care Of Him” and “Sukiyaki”.
Everyone agreed that “Ginny Come Lately” and “Little Betty Falling Star” were beautiful numbers. The only snag was that Kong Ling would be unable to sing these two items unless the lyrics were changed. The Echoes then sugguested that “Jimmy” be substituted for “Ginny”, and “Billy” for “Betty”. Consequently the songs were re-christened “Little Billy Falling Star” ands “Jimmy Come Lately”.
The Fabulous Echoes have done a lot of instrumental work on this album. In fact they do not provide any vocal background on “Sukiyaki” and “The End Of The World”. Kong Ling was in great voice and everyone concerned enjoyed doing this LP.
We hope you like it too.
Que Sera Sera﹕原唱是 Doris Day (1956/Columbia)﹐是電影 The Man Who Knew Too Much 的主題曲。

Dear maninov4u,
See~耐心等待就得到所盼望的﹐我早告知你環球有留意Diamond的寶藏的﹐終於他們的復黑來到Diamond時代了。
你在那裡知道這大喜消息的﹖

Dear muzikland,
我是在昨日的頭條日報看到的, 有全版廣告, Diamond 的4張排頭位, 環球卒之知道這些才是寶.

Dear Muzikland,
Yesasia已有網上發售....

不知為何"江玲與回音樂隊第一集"沒有復黑或與第二集一併作雙CD發售.....

Dear maninov4u,
謝謝你﹐在等待著這些專輯出版呢﹐我還發現到一張陳秋霞的英文專輯呢。這類復黑版比來來去去的精選有意思得多了。
Dear macaenese5354﹐
慢慢來吧﹐唱片公司也他們的市場考量﹐不一定要順著當年的次序再版的﹐能復黑已經很好的了。環球既然會出這4張﹐之後的鑽石專輯自然會繼續重見天日的。我們得要支持啊﹐不要被下載弄跨了我們的期望啊~

Dear Muzikland,
其實他們把這些歌曲唱片復黑與否,對於我來說,是沒有多大關係的。我只是懷疑有部份他們當年的原聲母帶,可能巳損壞或失踪,致未能與現時面世的那些同期推出。因為從Yesasia網內的資料顯示,Teddy Robin & The Playboys那款是雙CD版的,冮玲的為何不作同樣的處理呢....還有呀,Fabulous Echoes的standalone復黑版一張也未見呀! 哈哈....

Dear macaenese5354,
我相信有些母帶可能有損毀﹐因為聽鑽石名曲選Boxset時﹐明顯有些是唱片轉錄﹐也有些聲音有著輕微左右震動變化﹐但卻聽得出是母帶來的。但是又有甚麼關係呢﹐縱使是唱片轉錄﹐只要唱片公司製作用心﹐在聲音上還是可見水準的。
我所說的唱片公司市場考量﹐那是跟消費者的想法不一樣的﹐一次過把甚麼都推出不一定是一件好事﹐消費者也未必能一次過消化得來。有四張就是一個開始﹐那就慢慢等著瞧吧﹐何況我們都等了那麼多年了﹐環球有這樣的開始﹐我相信我們用購買來作行動支持﹐那就會令他們有信心繼續復黑。現在唱片是越來越難做了﹐老實說每次唱片公司出版這些絕版老歌﹐都總會有人說怎麼會有這個沒有那個﹐怎麼先有這個﹐不是先有那個﹖唉~世事豈能盡如人意﹖對不﹖
鑽石最吸引我的是江玲及Fabulous Echoes﹐不過我還是耐心等待著﹐或者現在這樣的決定也也滿足到一些顧媚﹑潘迪華及Teddy Robin 的歌迷呢﹖

所謂復黑版,不單是以仿黑膠唱片的形式出版的CD,而是連出版形式、唱片封套設計也完全複製當時的格式。Teddy Robin & The Playboys(新曲+精選)最初出版時是以雙唱片形式推出,故復黑版必然以雙CD形式出版,而Kong Ling & The Fabulous Echoes (Volume II)與Kong Ling & The Fabulous Echoes原來是分開先後出版的,故復黑重出時也必然分開來出版。至於單唱片以雙CD形式出版,外國早有Cilla Black 與Lesley Gore六十年代出版的大碟以這種形式發行,個人感覺這樣雖然售價可能便宜點,但卻失去原來出版的風味。

Dear 香港人﹐
對啊﹐所以我覺得千萬不要有甚麼Bonus Track﹐因為這種復黑的買點不是抵買的歌曲﹐而是重溫當年的黑膠唱片聆聽經驗。

dear Muzikland:
聽到Que Sera Sera就想笑,這好像是我們台灣中學生學英文的啟蒙歌,還有Yesterday...可能都是歌詞簡單易懂吧!?
好像可以看到一堆小鬼,傻頭傻腦跟著唱的樣子(^^)

Dear hsumolly,
我覺得有些歌太簡單了﹐會很好聽﹐但不易唱﹐像 Do-Re-Mi﹑Que Sera Sera 就是了.老實說﹐雖然我很喜歡江玲﹐但是我不喜歡她這版本。原唱者 Doris Day 接到這首歌時﹐其實不願演唱的﹐因為歌曲太簡單了﹐可是電影劇情實在需要這一首簡單的歌﹐所以她只得唱了﹐沒想到歌曲還取得 Oscar 獎。不過話說回來﹐Doris Day的演唱﹐實在令歌曲生色不少﹐這就是歌星的功力了。
