This book is an autobiography written by bassist Henry Chua, one of the founders of The Quests.

Description	English: This book is an autobiography written by bassist Henry Chua, one of the founders of The Quests. Chua also wrote "Shanty", the first original pop composition to hit No. 1 on the Singapore charts. It covers the founding of the band, the early talentimes, their signing to EMI, and then the recordings and concerts. They were the first act to record in English, Chinese and Malay. Their LP, 33 1/3 Revolution, was Singapore's first stereo album. In their heyday, their records sold between 20,000 and 30,000 units. They were famous regionally and were mobbed by fans from East Malaysia to Hong Kong. But after four albums and over 30 singles and EPs, the group disbanded in 1971. Apart from Henry Chua's autobiographical memories of the band, additional interviews had been conducted by BigO with Reggie Verghese, Singapore's first guitar hero, rhythm guitarist Jap Chong and drummer, Lim Wee Guan. The book has taken three years to write and is part of BigO's archival efforts to document Singapore pop history. It is also part of the magazine's 16th anniversary celebration. https://mycommunity.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q324
