It's been a while that we had an unknown artist here. Excellent a go go album, probably a Taiwanse singer. Put out by the Large World Record company which was putting out bootleg albums exclusively for American soldiers stationed in Taiwan and that area of Asia. Local records, they would only put out some 500 copies so this is pretty rare....

Enjoy!
"waiting for my love under the acacia tree", the second song on the album is widely recorded

It’s extremely efficient, but I don’t think we’re living in such a great era.

Thanks Yoshio :) Yeah I have an 8 year old piece of shit smart phone with a bad camera. My son has a good one and he did that but got way, way less info then what you are coming with, I did get the name Ting Ting but it was all so vague and it was for a 7" record so I didn't use that info... Things get weird sometimes when it comes to these bootlegs... And yeah, very efficient, i get most info easily now when it comes to records but try searching for, ehrrr, other stuff... Heavily shadow banned and loads of stuff is just....gone... The only social media I use is youtube and instagram and only for posting videos from the stuff I post here, otherwise, I went outta there a long time ago, during the covid era actually....
