"Night of Passion Melody" (Canto Version)/
"Southern Cruise" (Canto Version)
Jewel's critique:
Finally I have a copy of this nice "short
album". For me the highlight actually is "Ngo yiu chung siu" (track 5)
because it's the great theme song of "Police Story 2"! You can
hear the song in the ending credits (outtakes). But "Great Tsim Sha Tsui
Night" is also great as its title already says *lol*. For everyone who
doesn't know: Tsim Sha Tsui is an area in Hong Kong. My personal
favorite part of Hong Kong actually! :-) Now I only have to find out
what Jackie is singing about. The song is ironically sung in Japanese
instead of Cantonese...
All in all the album isn't really a whole album. It seems to me that it
was more of an advertisment for "Police Story 2" in Japan.
Track 2 and 3 are also on Jackie's second Cantonese album called "Jackie
Chan" that was released in the same year, and track 6 isn't really a
song - Jackie just tells something in Cantonese. So you don't get that
much new from this one.
The weird mixture of Cantonese and Japanese songs is also a sign that
it's not supposted to be a whole production.
Still - it's a must in every Jackie Chan music collection - three nice
songs (track 1, 4, 5) you can only get on this release.
