Complete item notes
Released in 1989,"Broken-Hearted Batman" is a landmark vinyl album in Alex Kwok's musical career. As a rare "all-round creative genius" in the 80s Hong Kong music scene,Alex Kwok skillfully blended the then avant-garde Synth-Pop and City Pop styles from Europe,America,and Japan into local Hong Kong pop music.
The title track,"Broken-Hearted Batman," penned by lyricist master Richard Lam,humorously describes the feeling of heartbreak. Combined with Kwok's lively electronic arrangement,it was considered highly avant-garde at the time. For modern vinyl enthusiasts,this classic 80s Cantonese song vinyl record is more than just a vehicle for nostalgia. Its rich electronic synthesizer sounds and solid bass dynamics,when played on a high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) system,can exhibit excellent three-dimensionality and spatial presence. It's a prized Hi-Fi vinyl test record for many seasoned collectors. This is why the market for out-of-print Alex Kwok vinyl records has remained highly active in recent years,with a well-preserved first-pressing often being extremely difficult to find.
