This is not to say the songs are not enticing - they are anything but. Having been in the business for over 20 years and responsible for a long list of big hits of the 90s and onwards, Andy has amassed a huge repertoire on a par with those of the Four Heavenly Kings. The distinctions between the two CDs titled On Core Collection and On His Own Collection are not automatically clear, but the songs that are picked for inclusion here are all meat and no fat. And the three new numbers? They all sound vintage Andy Hui, and they are a savory appetizer to what he can still offer.
But to many fans, the Film and the Autobiography are the main draw of this package. Andy has branched into acting many years ago, appearing in numerous films from Wong Jing's Future Cops to Iwai Shunji's Swallowtail Butterfly. Truth be told, a brilliant singer no doubt, Andy wasn't that much of an actor. His acting always screamed hammy, although his recent acting gig in Ivy Ho's Claustrophobia did seem more natural.
