Saigon Rock & Soul Compilation: Vietnamese Classic Tracks Circa 1968-74
Came across this compilation today @ Amoeba SF. Had to grab it!
Always been buggin Pops' bout music form way back...not the re-done versions
they got on Viet Variety Shows et al "Paris By Night". Basically I was looking for that funk, psych-folk-acid rock sound. Played this for him and he was naming the tracks and artist with no need of looking at the liner notes, Amazing! Highly recommended to anyone interested in Southeast Asian Pop music form 60-70's (side note: If ya Viet grab this, sure to bridge the generation gap, a great conversation piece with ya folks).
Here's a lil video I found on early viet rock clip from a variety show's special. Sorry no translation.
