I was in Singapore for a few days and managed to do some scouting around for 45s. Things are getting a bit thin on the ground there, but I no doubt missed some likely spots. Anyways, I ended up with only two records. The one with the yellow cover is a very early effort by a feller named Wong Ching Yian. I doubt that record would interest too many people around here, but he and the band do some credible versions of the pop tunes of the day. Of course, being sung in Chinese gives them novelty value as well.

I've only played The Antartics record once, but I think it's a grower. The A side is pretty much straight beat, whereas Nancy Pancy is beat verging on garage with some nice fuzzy breaks. I'm pretty happy with that

I've played the Antartics 45 several times now and it sounds better to me each time.

Sorry, no sale!

There was an EMI cd with Nancy Pancy and a couple of other Antartics songs on it come out a few years ago. It also had a lot of far less interesting looking stuff on it. Anybody get that?
