Hi Chris,
I’m working on a reissue project for the singer Truc Mai – did you by any chance find any of her records? She was best known for her song ‘Saigon, Saigon’. If so, please respond via my email address.

Thanks!

Hey Kirk

Thanks for the message – there’s only one online store that would carry this, and that’s http://www.zudrangmarecords.com/, though their site is being updated right now. Ding Dong is very hard to find on either 7″ or LP – if you found one, it’d be around 75 – 120GBP depending on condition. Good luck, Best Chris

Hi Chris,

Do you know of any online shops that might be likely to carry original vinyl copies of Waipod Phetsuphan’s Ding Ding Dong ?

Also, any idea of what a reasonable cost would be?

Thanks!

Many thanks for the reply, Chris.

My initial thought is that as in many African countries the home-grown record industry has boomed immediately post-independence, it is possible that these records could well have been produced in the period between the South Yemenese independence from British rule in 1967 and the Marxist revolution in 1970, even though, as you mention, the record production, in fact, mainly took place up north,

Here’s to further research.

Regards, Samuli.

Many thanks Samuli

So glad to hear you’re into the music – thanks for getting in touch.

Good questions you’ve asked too. Dating of the singles is approximate – very hard to place with complete accuracy. Much of the music was recorded in the north half of the country, hence no British input. Records were pressed in either Greece or Pakistan. Weird as this is, this must have been the most economically viable option – alot of the labels I picked up appear to be local, independent operations, with a couple even based in Saudi. Hope that helps a little, though I appreciate it’s still somewhat vague. Hopefully with more research, the picture becomes clearer!

Cheers and all the best Chris

Great to hear there are fellow afficienados out there. I’ve had a few chances to look around but unfortunately only turn up Cai Luong records and headshakes of “we used to have some rock/pop or Khanh Ly and the gang but they got sold a long time ago.” I documented my favorite find here: http://flowchiminh.blogspot.com/2010/09/vietnam-record-shops_05.html
