Description
Originally released in 2009, Raks Discos proudly presents one of the most anticipated and unexpected compilations from 60s and 70s rock'n'roll: The Iran Scene. Reissued in 2023 by Survival Research.
Rare recordings from pre-Revolution Iran, previously largely just rumored or accessible to only a few global record collectors, have recently been uncovered. Influenced by The Shadows & The Ventures, 1960s labels Top4, MonoGram, & others released 4-track EPs of popular European tracks, bringing the youth of Iran the sounds of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones & other British artists. By 1966, 60s rock was firmly entrenched in Iran.
