Paula Tsui,a perennial favorite in the Chinese music scene,has early works recorded during her time at Man Chi Records that are highly prized historical treasures among many vinyl collectors. This album,"Oh! Why Mention the Past," not only showcases Sister Fung's signature deep,magnetic voice but also serves as an important testament to the 1970s Hong Kong pop music scene's transition from Mandarin pop to Cantonese.
