Second Folk Album

《Second Folk Album》是麗風唱片公司(Life Records)於1970年內出版的第二張歐西民謠歌曲LP合集。對比於首張的《First Folk Album》,這回參與灌錄《Second Folk Album》的本地歌手及組合,明顯地與上次的並不完全相同。一向以來,這張以昔日被稱為樂壇金牌經理人的梁柏濤 Pato Leung作掛名監製的唱片,在筆者心目中是享有不變的極高評價。因這不僅是它收錄了筆者喜愛的"Interlude"、"A Lover's Concerto"、"There Is A Ship"等本地演譯版,還有的是那意境優美的外頁封套設計,一幅由已故國際著名攝影家錢萬里先生提供的黃昏日落景色圖片…..

Sam Hui - Interlude
由許冠傑Sam Hui演譯的"Interlude",是來自著名法國籍電影作曲家Georges Delerue於1968年影片Interlude (玉樓春曉)中的同名插曲作品,原曲由已故的女歌手Timi Yuro首唱。





Time Is Like A Dream
And Now For A Time You Are Mine
Let's Hold Fast To The Dreams
That Taste And Sparkle Like Wine.

Who Knows If It's Real
Or Just Something We're Both Dreaming Of
What Seems Like An Interlude Now
Could Be The Beginning Of Love.

Loving You Is A World That's Strange
So Much More Than My Heart Can Hold
Loving You Makes The Whole World Change
Loving You I Could Not Grow Old
No, Nobody Knows When Love Will End
So Till Then, Sweet Friend.

Time Is Like A Dream
And Now For A Time You Are Mine
Let's Hold Fast To The Dreams
That Taste And Sparkle Like Wine.

Who Knows If It's Real
Or Just Something We're Both Dreaming Of
What Seems Like An Interlude Now
Could Be The Beginning Of Love
What Seems Like An Interlude Now
Could Be The Beginning Of Love.

Doris Hardoon - Conversation
擁有猶太裔父系及華人母系血統的Doris Hardoon,現時是在其夫婿創立的藝術及室內設計所內負責行政創作的工作;她演繹的"Conversation",是原自Joni Mitchell於1970年的作品。


  


Tripod Cauldrons 【註】 - Jesse James
Tripod Cauldrons這次演繹的"Jesse James",是一首以十九世紀年代美國的著名俠盜Jesse James為曲名、及其歌詞內容是講述該俠盜生平事跡之鄉謠歌曲。




Peter Holbrook 【註】 - Fragments
"Fragments"是Peter Holbrook的個人作品。




Terry & Bill - A Lover's Concerto
筆者早前已有貼文A Lover's Concerto - Terry & Bill記述此曲。




John Chen & Richard Yuen - Ages
"Ages"是由兩位負責這專輯編曲兼伴奏者John Chen及Richard Yuen演繹的純音樂(Instrumental)作品。


Agnes & Irene Chan - The Circle Game
演繹Joni Mitchell於1970年的作品"The Circle Game",是我們熟悉的陳依齡 Irene Chan陳美齡 Agnes Chan姊妹,亦是令後者走紅港澳及日本樂壇的首支灌唱歌曲。




Paul & Francis 【註】 - Unwaking Dreams
筆者找不到由這二男組合演譯的"Unwaking Dreams"是出自何處,猜測這極可能是他們自己的作品。

  


Iris & Alice - There Is A Ship
在《First Folk Album》專輯中的二女一男組合Iris, Alice & Paul,不知甚麼原因,這次沒有了男成員Paul的份兒,只由Iris & Alice她倆來演譯這首原自Milton OkunPeter Paul & Mary於1964年的作品"There Is A Ship"。




Foggy Mountain Five 【註】 - Gentle On My Mind
"Gentle On My Mind"是原自六十年代已故John Hartford的作品。




Sam Ho 【註】 - Ol' Man River
何國禧 Sam Ho演繹的"Ol' Man River",是原自已故Jerome KernOscar Hammerstein II於1927年的作品。




John Chen & Richard Yuen - Epilogue
這首"Epilogue"(終結曲),同樣是由兩位負責這專輯編曲兼伴奏者John Chen及Richard Yuen,把收錄於專輯內的部份歌曲旋律經編輯及串連後,以純音樂(Instrumental)形式演譯出來。


【註】 筆者於先前的《First Folk Album》貼文內巳簡述有關的歌手或組合資料,故在此不再重覆。

    Dear Tommy,

    Welcome to this blog!

    I've also read your message from another blog site of mine ( http://blog.roodo.com/macaenese5354/archives/6086793.html ) which is having same content as this blog. The reason why you couldn't listen to the broadcasting of this song through the player tool of both these 2 sites, presumably, is due to the bandwidth usage limitation & external linkage problem of the server site (i.e. roodo.com) where I uploaded the song to. In view of this, I've re-loaded the item to other accommodation site and I think now that you could listen to it through the player tool of this blog. But for all those ("Unwaking Dreams" included) I put onto the blog at Roodo, I think they have to be waited until the said problems with Roodo are solved or the operation of its facilitating tools are back to normal.....

    FYI, recent information from E-shop "Yesasia.com" shows that the pertinent CD album is temporarily out of stock. So if you're now living outside Hong Kong and would like to get one, I'm afraid that you have to seek helps from friends or relative in HK to buy it from local retail outlets like HMV, HK Record, Rock Gallery or CD Wareshouse, etc....
