Joe Jr. - The Voice of Love (Diamond Records LP-1043)
Original Hong Kong Pressing in glorious MONO sound! Late 60's - exact year unknown.
Possibly Joe Junior's first solo LP - the catalog number for the last Side-Effects LP was 1041. Hard to find HK teen idol pop from the boy next door! All songs sung in English. Joe Junior's albums are mentioned in Hans Pokora's book series "Record Collector Dreams" which are a vast guide to rare Psych, Beat, Garage, Prog, Rock, and Folk records
Produced by Norman Cheng, guitarist of Teddy Robin & The Playboys.
This came from a collection of LPs from a woman who was a teenager living in Hong Kong at the time of their release.
Includes a FULL COLOR POSTER with several pictures of Joe Jr on one side, and the phrase, "Joe Jr. is 21" on the other. Font and design match that of the outer sleeve. Poster is in VG condition. Was folded to fit in LP sleeve. Has slight wrinkling and one small tear of a half inch at one of the folds. See pics for detail.
Conidtion:
Sleeve: (VG+) - nice laminated jacket! Has one slight crease on the back (hard to notice). The condition is really more of a NM, but the glue on the top and bottom seams has dried up, leaving them partially separated. Plain white inner sleeve is presumably original, with one seam split of about 3 inches.
Record: (VG+) - great, shiny vinyl with just a few light paper scuffs which keep it from a NM rating. Great condition! Labels are very clean with no spindle marks.
Track Listing:
Side 1: Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, And I Love Her, You Can Never Stop Me Loving You, The Voice Of Love, Can't Help Falling In Love, Will You Love Me Tomorrow
Side 2: A Man Without Love (Quando M'Innamoro), True Love Will Come To You, Send Someone To Love Me, To Know You Is To Love You, Love Letters In The Sand
About the band:
Joe Junior, real name Jose Marie Rodrigueson, was born on 22/7/1946. He is of Macanese (Chinese and Portugese) ancestry. His family moved from Macau to Hong Kong where Joe was born and grew up. In 1963 Joe Jr became one of the top winners of the New Star Talent Contest and formed his first band, The Hunters. Later he played with the group D'Topnotes, and he then formed Joe and The Zoundcrackers who recorded "I Gotta Find Cupid" for the Diamond label in 1966. The single did well on the RTHK pop chart. After some major changes in band members, they regrouped as Joe Jr. & The Side-Effects. They recorded "Here's a Heart" in 1967 which became their most successful single. They also released two successful LPs ("Effective" and "Tribute"). After disbanding, Joe Junior continued to sing and record as a solo act and was included in a band called the Soul Agents which performed at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan. The band was selected and managed by Hong Kong rock 'n roll DJ Uncle Ray Cordeiro. The group was made up of top musicians from Hong Kong, including Irene Ryder, Michael Remedios, and a twenty-something Sam Hui. Joe later became an actor, and he still performs today for popular Hong Kong television shows and on the stage for audiences in Hong Kong and Macau.
About me: I've been collecting records since about 1995 and have been an eBay buyer since 2001. I'm just now making the jump to selling. As you can see, I have great feedback as a buyer and intend to offer excellent service as a seller. In addition to collecting, I have released two records (one 45 and one LP) on my own Flea Circus Records label.
Grading - I do my best to grade carefully by the Goldmine standard. LP gradings are visual only unless I feel it necessary to listen and make sure a scratch does not effect play.
Records will be packaged carefully for shipping in a new mylar sleeve with the record outside of the jacket.
International bidders, please contact me about shipping costs.
I have some other Joe Junior LPs which I will be listing, so check back. If you bid on multiple records I will combine shipping if you are willing to wait since the auctions are staggered.
Paypal only, please.
