The teenage girl with the bee-hive hair-do cuddling-up to a, most probably religious, statue makes me believe that the group was very conscious of the fact that they were combining traditional Thai music with rock´n´roll. The young girl, that is rather Western looking, contrasts nicely with the traditional Thai imagery. It´s the perfect design for the music to be heard on this record
Of course the title of this record is not Ultra High Fidelity. I just don´t know Thai. Hopefully somebody will help out with the names of the songs and the title of this record. Of the three Johnny Guitar EP´s I bought in Thailand, this is the strongest rock´n´roll-wise: cool guitars, a screeching organ and some nice laid-back “Hey, Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey´s”…
About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.
this record is “mon du dao”, and unfortunately the figure on the cover is not religious, but i believe a statue of an ancient mon soldier!
here is the tracklist:
A1: มอญดูดาว (mon du dao)
A2: แขกสาหร่าย (khaek sarai)
B1: ดาวทอง (dao thong)
B2: แขกเชิญเจ้า (khaek choen chao)
