this week i wanted to re-post an old crowd-favorite from this blog, with a link that's long since dead and a re-upload much requested [i also needlessly excised one track last time around, so this seemed like a good opportunity to redress that questionable decision, as well]. onuma singsiri's classic single "sao isan ro rak (northeastern girl waiting for love)" (penned by sumthum phairimbueng, whom we heard from recently) was a huge hit, and remains a karaoke staple to this day. onuma is from khon kaen, and i've heard she lives now in tennessee, but aside from that i don't know much about her. soi48 let me know that the backing band is that of so fiddle maestro thonghuad faited, and that the whole album was recorded in one day! lastly, people have asked for a date on this one, and after some consideration i can almost certainly give 1978 or 1979, since it contains a cover of israeli eurovision song contest winner izhar cohen & the alphabeta's "a-ba-ni-bi" from 1978 and the lead single was covered by grand ex' in 1979. so there you go.. enjoy!

Hi there Peter! i would like to ask whether if it's possible to share FLAC or WAV for this! I fell in love with Thai Music some years ago and managed to stumbled upon your blog with many Thai Music and some are so rare and obscure! Thank you!

For information the cover is wrong regarding the tracklisting.
Correct names are:
1 --> 1
2 --> 6
6 --> 13
3 --> 4
13 --> 8
17 --> 2
10 --> 3
12 --> 17
4 --> 10

See https://musicbrainz.org/release/6a1d60bf-2c7b-4f1d-b33c-5f9afb1eaf58
8 --> 12
15 --> 15
16 --> 16

After recheck you can forgot/delete those msgs are the compilation is ok. Problem was coming from the Digital version made by Baichasong which have a different order than original Vinyl and reissues
