COVER/VINYL : EX(+) / EX++
Original 1970 first pressing in stereo sound! Raised gold foil seal on front cover!
This is the band's only LP. Insanely rare, hard to find Hong Kong beat / garage / teen pop. All songs sung in English - half sung by Joe Junior, half by Michael Remedios. This LP was later reissued as "The Best of Joe Junior & Michael Remedios". Joe Junior's albums are mentioned in Hans Pokora's book series "Record Collector Dreams" which are a vast guide to rare Psych, Beat, Garage, Prog, Rock, and Folk records.
The "band" was actually a collection of musicians put together to perform at the 1970 World Expo in Osaka, Japan. Uncle Ray Cordeiro, Hong Kong's premier rock 'n roll DJ for more than five decades, was the man who formed and managed the group.
From Uncle Ray's website, "I was selected as the road manager of a local pop group to perform at the Hong Kong pavilion, which was next to the British site. I picked Joe Junior, Irene Ryder, Michael Remedios and other top musicians from Hong Kong, including a twenty-something Sam Hui. We got Tsang Fook Piano to provide us with Fender and other top-of-the-line equipment and free shipment to Japan, too. It so happened that we were the only pop group there, others brought in folk groups performing soft music. So our band music attracted a lot of attention. Every Saturday night, when a pavilion threw a party, we were the band there. But it also drew the jealousy of the host, who complained that we played too loud."
