Persian Underground
Issued on vinyl is an amazing collection of rare 45s from the awe inspiring Persian '60s and '70s underground scene. Expect an eclectic mix of styles, ranging from garage rock to cool Persian beat, and from exotic rock'n'roll to truly astonishing prog/psych. Included are female drummer and singer Zangoleah with some killer garage rockin' tracks, the obscure band Takkhalha doing a fab cover of the Stones' 'Play With Fire' and an amazing take on the Persian traditional song 'Mastom, Mastom', Golden Ring-styled beat by Big Boys, exotic Persian beat by Saeed and Tigers, terrific garage-beat by Ojubeha and both sides of the Kambiz 45, probably the major psych/prog discovery from Iran in the recent years.
