RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Sonthaya Kalasin was the male lead singer in the molam section of legendary producer/impresario Surin Paksiri’s beloved musical troupe Tidso Lam Phloen; his female counterpart was Phairin Phonphibun (EM1147LP).
These recordings, the very best of Kalasin’s work with Paksiri, cover the period from the mid-70s to the early 80s and showcase Kalasin’s mastery of the traditional male molam lower vocal range. Also highlighted here are Paksiri’s production skills and his penchant for pushing the boundaries of standard molam arrangements and instrumentation, always trying to fuse new ideas with tradition.
An uncredited Phairin Phonphibun makes an appearance on a few tracks here, giving lucky listeners a glimpse of the singers’ Tidso Lam Phloen dynamism: Paksiri’s genius, a long-standing backing band, and simpatico vocal styles honed in the crucible of performance. This is the first vinyl release of any music from Sonthaya’s years with Surin Paksiri and as such represents a valuable document, with accompanying English lyric translations; but more than a document, Grade A Guy is grade A music.

from 30 reviewsI got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.
honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!
Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.
Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.
Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
