here's a quick follow-up to the last post... i don't usually post things i've compiled myself, but i thought some people might be interested in hearing the original versions of the tunes which were so expertly redone for the film fa thalai chon (or "tears of the black tiger"). most of these songs were recorded in the 1950's by the first wave of the suntaraphon stars and showcase the work of legendary composers like uea sunthonsanan, wet sunthonchamon, sane komarachun & others. i've also included a recording of the old irish tune on which the film's original song "kamsuan chan" was based.. the mp3 comes courtesy of ucsb's outstanding cylinder preservation & digitization project. hope you enjoy!

I just finished listening to these. I really love them, especially the ones by Phensi Phumchusi. "The Last Rose of Summer" was also a nice surprise and fit in quite well with the Thai songs. Thanks again, Peter!

yeah, i think that melody was picked by the director, wisit, himself. he & his wife wrote the thai lyrics as sung in the film!
