Sunny A Go Go, Vol. 1
Sunnyboy66 Records proudly presents this superb collection from Southeast Asia scene, '60s beat, pop, garage-a go-go funky sounds from the period 1965-1968. These 18 songs have never been presented on a compilation and they show us with great certainty that the '60s Asian rock scene was well-established. The vocals are (mostly) sung in the dialects of Mandarin and Hokkien and they soar with catchy hooks atop groovy, clever beats. However, this does not mean that they lose in quality or dynamic in relation to the countries from which the bands' musical influences originated, on the contrary it gives a dynamic tone and presence as befits them. There's plenty of electric guitar, organ, and crazy percussion rocking and twisting behind it all, at times reaching quite a mad and freaky state of affairs. The time has finally come for all these diamonds to come out into the sunlight and shine on the turntable. Limited to 200 yellow coloured copies!
