Red Flowers Blossom to Greet Chairman Mao
Another Sunday in Mongkok-- this time shopping with Sonia and Rachel. In one 3-story mall called "Trendyzone," we stumbled upon a used record and comic shop that had a surprising number of old Communist propaganda records. I picked up a couple, to the bemusement of the older woman running the store. I imagine foreigners like me are the only ones who care about a faded LP of children's songs for Chairman Mao these days. Some titles on this record include: "We Are Little Red Guards, Full of Pep and Vigor (Song in Unison)", "Uncle Lei Feng Smiles on Us (Song with Actions)" and "Learning to Be a Worker." Will let you know when I locate a turntable to listen to them.

...i just imported this same record from HK (the ship took 3months to get back to the UK) .. i have just listened to it & thought i'd try & dig up some info on it, hence i came across your post! (2days short of it being 3years since you posted it!) --did you ever get around to listening to it? ...if not, i ripped it & will be posting it on my music blog at some point over the next month or so (i will let you know when if you want)
