Nostalgia ...
I went to china 3 years ago, and i feel nostalgic today about that trip, i feel like listening again to that crappy flexidiscs i bought in Beijing on a flea market.

And i want to share them with my few readers, these little chinese vinyl records, they are incredibly attractive : very thin, translucid and in color RGB flexidiscs ! Operettes, traditionnal songs and classical orchestra favorites, and even some easy listening surf rock. The sound of the vinyl rips is a bit scratchy of course : ( , but consider where i've bought them, believe me it is not that bad. Sweet vinyl records !
Check the wonderful portable turntable that comes along with them.

The first share is a Red 45rpm. I really don't know anything about what these 4 songs refers to, it is a kind of easy-listening chinese operette with strings and male or female vocalists. Have a listen, This is China back in the years, follow the links !

--#02 a green 45rpm.
This one is an exotica rock instrumentals record. Very quiet and peaceful. Easy listening steel guitar, hawain style ukulele. Sit back, relax and enjoy ! Once again sorry for the bad quality, i have to cut some two of the songs because of the heavy background noises.
