RELEASE DATE

RSD 2017 release. Limited double LP vinyl gatefold edition of the long out-of-print CD from 2005 compiled by
Alan Bishop
. Never before presented or heard outside a minority of the Burmese community, this unbelievable collection of raw garage rock, psychedelia, folk, blues, and country music is a product of Shan and Pa'o musicians hailing from Myanmar's largest province of Shan State - an area larger than the entire state of New York expanding across sub-tropic tablelands with an average elevation of 3000 feet, perfect for the cultivation of poppies for which it is very well known (in fact and fiction) as the center of the "Golden Triangle". Discover the music of
Lashio Thein Aung
(AKA "Jimmy Jack" and the "Burmese Texan"),
Khun Paw Yann
(a "Black Shan" Pa'o rocker), and
Saing Saing Maw
- the original Shan legend who wrote and sang garage psych rock songs, backed by a tight unit of organ, bass, drums, and perhaps the most stinging electric guitar in Burmese history. There is little reliable information about these mysterious pioneers and many Burmese have never heard any of these tracks. The tracks on this double LP set are from the 1970s and 1980s and are almost impossible to find in any form or quality. They were transferred directly from old cassette tapes and a few cuts have dropouts (some of them quite severe). Most of the master tapes are thought to have been lost or destroyed many years ago so these recordings may be the only link to a phenomenal and forgotten era of Southeast Asian music history and therefore essential for anyone interested in folk, rock and pop styles from lesser-known regions of the globe. Also features:
Khun Kan Chwain
,
Khun Kaung Kay Maung
,
Nan Phin Sar
, and
Khun Hla Maung Law
