Back To Music: 1F, 45 Main Street, Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island, Hong Kong

A used record store on Lamma? And not only that, but a viable used record store on Lamma. Back To Music has not only hung in there for three years but after two years it upgraded and moved to a larger and more prominent location.

Like many a used record dealer in Hong Kong, owner Ming Ho is personable, willing to chat about music and/or dig up your requested genre. On my last visit he recounted a touching story about his very first purchase, the record that got him on his way – an album by the British synthpop band Yazoo, and Ming, while being dedicated enough to scrape together enough coins to buy Yazoo’s album, still hadn’t put together enough coins to buy a record player! Now he’s got a whole well organised store full of records along with racks of used cassette tapes, CDs and DVDs.

In order to take a random sampling of Hong Kong taste (as far as recordings from the past) I asked Ming what his biggest seller was. He immediately pulled out the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
