Cosmic Rock / Europe / 2023 / LP, RE Unofficial
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 and roll, and astonishing prog/psych numbers. Featuring female drummer and 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 Saeedand Tigers, terrific garage-beat by Ojubeha and the two sides of the Kambiz 45, probably the major discovery from Iran in recent years and one of the few, if not the only truly Persian prog/psych 45s ever recorded. Also features Kambiz.
