Chabaphrai Namwai & Banyen Rakkaen - Lam Phloen Songthaew Fanclub - One-sided 7'', 2021 [EMC 016]

A one-sided 7" single! A great and rare song, never before reissued, an early 80s electric molam classic produced by Surin Phaksiri. This release celebrates "Classic Productions by Surin Phaksiri 2: Molam Gems from the 1960s-80s", an upcoming EM Records compilation spotlighting this legendary producer; however, this song will not be available on the compilation, so get the vinyl or DL, and don't miss this groovily swaying paean to the pick-up truck share taxi, performed by Chabaphrai Namwai and molam queen Banyen Rakkaen. Remastered and lacquer cut by D&M Berlin, with English and Japanese lyrics translations. Hop in and let's go!

'Songthaew' is a passenger vehicle in Thailand and Laos adapted from a pick-up or a larger truck and used as a share taxi or bus. This molam tune "Lam Phloen Songthaew Fan Club" is about the period in which Songthaew began to appear as a new means of transportation for people in Thailand.
