張立基's player was not working a moment ago, I have already replaced the file.
The two Cantonese versions sounds very similar to me actually. But I do prefer Norman's version a little more as I have listened both versions back to back tonight, not that Jacky's version has any issue. 可能 I had listened Jacky's Linda way too much back then, there is not new element to discover. On the other hand, even though I heard of Norman's Linda before, but as he was a ATV singer back then, the airplay and his exposure were way lower than Jacky. So, to listen now again, it has a fresher feeling...
鉛筆小丁, Hopeyearn & Benny: thank you all! Loved "Linda" for years now for the first time the very original, wow:
Bluew (ブリュー) - リンダ (Linda)
Like the original rocker's raw voice! Jacky's sticked to the original's arrangements. But 盧東尼 did an excellent job on 2:40-3:00 (better than original's 2:44-3:04)! Also don't like the clock ticking sound at the end of the original. Jacky's performance was excellent.
I've listened to Norman's recently, bought his CD:

Well, I'll give him extra credits for being the first to cover the song. Original was from his own label 東芝 EMI! But his performance was okay (at best)! But the strange arrangements make it even worse: 1:59-2:02, 2:23-3:01 (2x Linda-Linda-Linda, both original and Jacky's have it once) & 3:01-3:17 (杜自持's lousy job compared to 盧東尼)! Norman's Mandarin Version was also using the same backing music. Thought EMI would correct it! The new element you're talking was stealing from the original, I believe (just listen to original & Norman's again)! Or did you mean 1:59-2:02, 2:23-3:01 & 3:01-3:17 on Norman's?

Oh Benny, you fooled me! Norman-file is 4:42 3871KB! How on earth is it possible to be 224kbps? That's 112kbps. I've made an edit of it. Now I have to rip my CD & re-do everything again. ;(
Hmm, thought I bought that 2CD-set! It's nowhere to be found. It's still there on my wish list, too bad! Anyone who has the song, please share it with us!
