SIANG TOEY JAK JAI / TID KIEW TIEW KRUNG by BANYEN RAKKAEN / 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.Like the Paradise Bangkok 7", this record is handnumbered to 500 copies and comes in classy leather like packaging with print on top. Tip!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.
