Dear Strutters, could you please keep an eye out for this record?

My mom was a pretty successful singer in Vietnam in the 60s, but she doesn't have anything from her catalog except for a few cassettes due to having to be pragmatic about what was brought over during the war. Anyway, I just came across one of her record covers for the first time on the internet.



I know the chances of this are slim, but if any of you come across this record on your digging ventures I would really be grateful if you could pick it up and send it to me. In exchange for $$ of course.

    There's that Stutter over in Thailand right now that was selling those sick Asian pop 7s. I don't think he's a regular poster so he might not see this, but I'd ask him to keep an eye out. I bought a pile of those and he seems like a very swell chap to deal with. Maybe he could help.

    thanks for the leads!

    i saw my fam this weekend and one of my sisters said she got a ton of old recordings some collector in germany burned to cd and sent to my mom recently. i'm pretty excited about it

    here's a track


    I would still love to get my hands on the real record though.

    You just greatly reduced your chances of finding that record.
    Now everyone wants their own copy.
  • edith headedith head 5,106 Posts
    Haha, thanks for the kind words! my mom will be pleased when i relay the compliments!

    There are other good tracks too that i will have to upload at some point.

    A**y, I just started looking! I didn't really know until very recently that there were a decent # of records made!

    Sheeit, I would pay the most I've ever paid for a record and then still give it to Audrey as a gift.

    The old "family member in the band but you don't have a copy of the record" line huh? Yeah, never heard that one before ;-)
