Brand new, still sealed copy of this unique compilation of Malay psychedelic rock and pop from the venerable Sublime Frequencies imprint. From the label: "The Pop Yeh Yeh era, which took place roughly between the years of 1964
to 1970, coincided with the rapid modernization happening at the time in
Singapore and Malaysia. Pop Yeh Yeh artists instinctively cross-pollinated electric sounds of
the West with Malay melodies, and added their own local poetic voice to
the lyrics they wrote – sung in Malay (and sometimes Bawean). The Pop
Yeh Yeh musicians started out playing in styles inspired by Western
groups like the Beatles and Cliff Richard, but they eventually succeeded
in creating a sound all their own – a sound that is not only accessible
to the Western ear, but also retains an undeniable Malay personality." FREE SHIPPING! Packaged safely and shipped quickly.
