Only The Bear Family could put something like this together and come up with over 25 tracks rock and jazz fusion from back in the day. And for me this is completely an adventure. Not one track have I ever heard…but that is the fun. Unboxing-Various Artists — Destination Hong Kong — Dim Sum Rock ’n’ Roll Collection (CD) (youtube.com)

The new CD release comes with a collectible booklet full of liner notes and a short history of each song and the artists. Songs that never saw release until now thanks to disagreements between artist and producers. Title changes on one song thanks to Dick Clark stating I don’t want a song has such a dreadful implication.
