Senarai Album Asiah Tuah

Album Pertama 1961
INTRODUCING ASIAH TUAH
(Ulasan di kulit album) Born in Klang in 1944, petite Asiah Tuah came from musical family. Her singing carreer started at the age of nine when she faced the microphone with her father's amature band and at the kampong function. Later came her discovery by Radio Malaya and she featured in most of the big band recordings and variety shows. She is undoubtedly one of the most promising new singers of Malaya today. We have great pleasure in introducing her here, singing a number of modern compositions,all by Malayan composers, as the second of our Music of Malaya series. You can probably recognise the Orchestra with is the H.H.Tan Sexiest playing in one of Malaya's biggest Hotel at present.

Pada tahun 1959, dipertandingan akhir Bintang Radio, saya dijemput menyanyi sebagai jemputan, pada masa itu pengadil-pengadil dari syarikat rakaman Singapura telah berminat dengan suara nyanyian saya, kemudian saya telah disokong oleh Dato' Ahmad Marican untuk membuat rakaman suara ke piring hitam. Dato'Ahmad Marican, Alfonso Soliano dan Wan Ahmad Kamal adalah yang bertanggungjawab memilih, mencipta lagu dan lirik untuk album pertama saya itu, setelah siap 4 lagu dirakamkan, album ini dihantar ke India selama 8 bulan untuk proses terakhir menerbitkan piring hitam tersebut, Alhamdulillah, keempat-empat lagu tersebut telah berjaya mendapat sambutan hangat oleh para peminat. Inilah lagu-lagu yang terdapat didalam album pertama saya.

  1. MARI BERDENDANG DENGAN KU : AkbarNawab / Wan Ahmad Kamal.
  2. KEKASEH PUJAAN : Sharifuddin Majid / Wan Ahmad Kamal.
  3. RENUNGAN : Akbar Nawab / Wan Ahmad Kamal. Not many local vocalists like to try a tune in Paso Double tempo. Here's Asiah in her creditable affort.
  4. IKATAN JANJI : Ahmad Hashim / Wan Ahmad Kamal. A sure hit number with music composed by a Johor Pianist. It already being hummed everywhere. This is probably the first time you hear it on a record, and is in our opinion the best piece on the disc. Do you agree ?


Album Kedua 1962
ASIAH TUAH IN LATIN MOOD
(Ulasan di kulit album) Following her first successful E.P. RE:7202 in which her songs " Kekaseh Pujaan" climbed high on the Malayan Hit Parade; Asiah Tuah now introduces 3 more hits in the Cha Cha beat. Lovers of Latin rhythms will also welcome the instrumental number "Tanah Melayu Cha Cha" included in this E.P. Let us see how we can compare with the foreign compositions.

  1. SELAMAT MALAM : Alfonso Soliano/ Wan Ahmad Kamal.
  2. HIDUP IBARAT MIMPI : A.R.Ismail/ Wan Ahmad Kamal.
  3. BAHAGIA SELALU UNTUK MU : Nordin Ismail.
