Sroeng Santi / Narong Rurachbuadang
Pai Na Pai / Siang Teoy Jak Phin Jak Khaen
PARADISE BANGKOK [LUK THUNG UNDERGROUND / EARLY MOLAM] 45 LIMITED REISSUE
| Side A : Pai Na Pai Artist : Sroeng Santi Reworking another 70s rock classic (see if you can spot that riff!) as only Sroeng Santi can, this is tuff Luk Thung Underground of the highest order, driven by a fierce backbeat and Santi's barked vocal. If you loved the 'Iron Man' cover, this one is going to stop you in your tracks. |
Side B : Siang Teoy Jak Phin Jak Khaen Artist : Narong Rurachbuadang Sparse 60s Molam, all clattering percussion and droned out phin and khaen (the Isan three stringed lute, and bamboo mouth organ respectively) this sprightly instrumental revealed hidden depths after remastering. Check that bass drum and try to stop your foot tapping when this is on the decks! |

Nung Lamyong Kularbseemuang / Chanpen Dennapa
Kati Sorn Jai / Lam Toey Dai Lao Leaw Luem Mia
PARADISE BANGKOK [TALUNG / MOLAM] 45 LIMITED REISSUE
| Side A : Kati Sorn Jai Artist : Nung Lamyong Kularbseemuang Sleazy and urgent, and an absolute staple from the Paradise Bangkok setlists, this tune is always a showstopper. A late 70s Luk Thung/Talung production from the south of Thailand, replete with rasping horns and an off-beat groove, if Nung Lamyong’s vocal doesn’t get you, the nagging organ riff most certainly will! |
Side B : Lam Toey Dai Lao Leaw Luem Mia Artist : Chanpen Dennapa Built around a well known 70s pop riff, this Molam killer then tears into a percussion led piece of Isan beatdown, powered along by phin playing of the highest order. A recent discovery from the ZRM archives. |

Banyen Rakkaen / Porn Tawan
Siang Toey Jak Jai / Tid Kiew Tiew Krung
THEPPABUTR PRODUCTIONS [MOLAM SINGLE] 45 LIMITED REISSUE
| Side A: Track : Siang Toey Jak Jai Artist : Banyen Rakkaen |
Side B: Track : Tid Kiew Tiew Krung Artist : Porn Tawan |
Reissued for the first time, these tracks are the first in a series of limited edition 45rpm releases from Thailand's ZudRangMa label. Banyen Rakken delivers a sweet vocal over urgent Hammond drones that bubble in and out of the mix over a mid-tempo molam groove. The flip side contains the ultra rare 'Tid Kiew Tiew Krung' that sounds like an eastern leaning Moondog, as a stentorian rhythm, punctuated with horns and keyboard licks, underpins Porn Tawan's everyday tales of life in the Land of Smile.

Prasai Jaekankaeo / Chamnapa Petchpalanchai
Mor Khaen Ha Khu / Lam Plearn Dok Koon Siang Khaen
PARADISE BANGKOK [LUK THUNG / MOLAM] 45 LIMITED REISSUE
| Side A : Mor Khaen Ha Khu Artist : Prasai Jaekankaeo Originally only available in a strictly limited private pressing, this tough luk thung track features a heavy afro-beat bassline and rattling cowbells, as the little known Prasai Jaekankaeo crank out 3 mins of underground brilliance. Sadly, this is their only known recording. |
Side B : Lam Plearn Dok Koon Siang Khaen Artist : Chamnapa Petchpalanchai Fresh from performing live at the 'Paradise Bangkok' 3rd Anniversary Chamnapa Petchpalanchai comes correct on some militant molam, complete with soaring khaen (the unique North-Eastern Thai bamboo mouth organ), and a hypnotic bass driven groove. |
