Hidden in this very plain and boring cover there's a totally awesome Waiphot Phetsuphan album. As far as I can tell most of the songs here is about various aspects of life as a Buddhist monk. For more music and information about Waiphot see รวมทำบุญ (ruam tham bun) on monrakplengthai.

Malaysia Big Band Music of India

Golden Horse GHEP 1055

Malaysia

band: 馬樂印度大樂隊

title: 一曲難忘

A1 - 不要拋棄我 (Do Not Leave Me)

A2 - 阮不知啦 (Nguyen Did Not Know Friends)

B2 - 戀愛季節 (Love Season)

This is quite a curiosity! Popular Chinese songs played Indian style by a Malaysian band replete with sitar and tablas but still retaining that organ sound so typical of Malay music of the period.

The translation of the titles is courtesy of the Google translate service so I have no idea if they're even close to correct, or if poor Nguyen really didn't know any friends..

A quick search on YouTube give multiple results for each of these songs, and here's links to some of my favorite vocal versions:

Track 1: 

姚蘇蓉 (Yao Su Yung)

Track 2:

 方瑞娥 (Fang Rui E)

Track 3:

黄清元 (Huang Qing Yuan) & The Stylers

黄鹂 (Huang Li) & The Saints

Track 4:

姚蘇蓉 (Yao Su Yung) 

鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)

A third entry for The Alfan band on StereoMono, this time backing two girls on a split EP. It seems The Alfan could do no wrong and all of their music I've heard is consistently excellent!

One of the singers is called S. Moorelhuda on the cover and S. Noorelhuda in the track list, not sure what is correct.
