October 13 - Movie Hits From Asia

This is the cover-art for the upcoming 'From Memphis to Taipeh', an Asian vinyl reference book by Ferry van der Werf and Dick Dekker. The book, containing 500 plus entries on 500 plus pages, is set for release January or February 2021.

While working on the book we very soon we found out that we had run right into a wasp’s nest of countless titles, flying in from everywhere. We could never tell this epic story in just a single volume. So we decided to limit our coverage to 10” and 12” records from six major Asian countries: Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Other countries and formats will just have to wait for Volume 2, and perhaps even a Volume 3! 

Hits Sings Hits From the Movies

The Miracle Surface label released the LP 'Elvis Sings Hits From His Movies'. This compilation of alternate takes comes on blue vinyl housed in a gate-fold cover.
