PERSIAN UNDERGROUND “VV/AA” LP

A serious obscure object of desire ! Amazing collection that gathers some of the rarest Persian 45s. Such an eclectic mix of styles, from garage rock to cool Persian beat, exotic rock&roll and astonishing prog/psych numbers. Featuring female drummer & singer Zangoleah with some killer garage-rockin’ tracks, obscure bands like 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 the two sides of the Kambiz 45, probably the major discovery from Iran in the recent years and one of the few, if not the only truly Persian prog/psych 45s ever recorded.Tracklist: Side A1 Zangoleah / Uncle chainmaker2 Saeed / Avenue of love3 Big Boys / I was thinking about you4 Zangoleah – Springs5 Takkhalha / Mastom, mastom6 Kambiz / Love Knowledge7 Kambiz / Way Of LifeSide B1 Takkhalha / Rain and rain2 Ojubeha – Shirley3 Takkhalha /Play with fire4 Tigers /Take Leila Away5 Big Boys / Bartender6 Zangoleah /Wish Map7 Tigers / Koori Shin Baba
