Beijing’s “Golden Sun”
Published by kgroetsch May 18th, 2004 in Music.
Online auction sites can be dangerous for compulsive collectors, and that’s why I try to stay away as much as possible. That danger has been particularly apparent since I discovered a woman in Hong Kong who’s selling Cultural Revolution-era LPs and 10″ EPs online. No, I’m not going to link to her store — a guy has to protect his sources — but I will share with you my latest purchase: There’s a Golden Sun in Peking: Concert, Solos on Traditional Instruments (larger image here). It would almost be worth it for the sleeve itself, but I’m sure the music will be just as interesting, even if it appears to be all instrumental. If I can, I’ll try to make some MP3 samples when I get back to the US later this year. Rest assured that I’ll also post pictures if/when I buy more.
a winner!
