Cumulative Results
Here are the results of many hours of walking, digging and generally putting myself in awkward situations in Taipei, Taiwan. Firstly, let me point out the main flaw, I don't speak, read or understand Mandarin in the slightest. For that reason I can not provide you with artist names or song titles. 100000000 apologies. I would also like to apologize for the relative quality of the recordings. In my defense, Taiwanese people hate old stuff. The few records that I found were filthy, water damaged, moldy and sometimes stuck inside their sleeves.
Essentially the collection boiled down to"
[1] Rad 60's singers with sparse orchestral arrangements.
Track 1
[2] 60's studio rock
Track 5
[3] Amazing disco
Track 11
[4] Minimalist eastern pop grooves
Track 18
NB. The Cool Breakfast blog will be featuring the entire 18 track compilation (as one "mixtape" track) as soon as they get around to it.

If you put up an image of the other side, can try to help with the names/titles....
For one, the last track is in Taiwanese, not Mandarin.
Track 05 sounds like a cover of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, which is an asburd enough song in its own right:
