I am in the process of buying back pieces of my past which brings me to:
George Lam 10 Minutes 12 Inches
This medley single came out in 1985. Until that time it is the first of its kind. In this single George Lam sang a 10 minute long medley comprised of the most popular Cantonese songs (of different genre) by various Hong Kong artists (including: Sam Hui, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung and many more) at the time.
The way this medley was mixed and arranged was sear genius, not to mention witty and it possesses George Lam's brand of quirky humour. The reception to the single was hot, subsequently inspired a series of medleys from different Hong Kong artists (Sam Hui even released a whole album on nothing but medleys).
After searching high and low I managed to find a used copy of this single on eBay...
