Phương Tām was from Vietnam.
Records from Vietnam are rare, at best. I have been unable to find hardly any information about music (outside of tradtional folk music) in that country before the Eighties. Here is what little information I have been able to find about records such as this one: "Records of this nature were outlawed within days of the fall of Saigon, and most were either destroyed by the Communists or, interestingly, destroyed by their owners who did not want the communists to have them."
When I first started tracking down records for what eventually became this site, I was under the impression that Vietnamese vinyl from the 60s and 70s would be the hardest to find. But, I have since been proven wrong. That’s not to say that they are easy to find... But considering the number of compilations of amazing of Thai and Cambodian rock and roll that are readily available... Why not Vietnam?
Catalog number M.3431 on Viet Nam Records. No other information available .
Enjoy.
