VA - Goush Bedey: Funk, Psychedelia & Pop From The Iranian Pre-Revolution Generation (2013)

Another charming, colourful collection of disco delights from pre-revolution 1970s Iran, replete woith extensive liner notes on insert** "Groovy Tehran 70s pop singles swirl like the skirt of a dancing dervish!! With 5 volumes, this series is now the most complete investigation into Iranian singles ever issued. By now, you’ve probably developed an ear for the way that 70s Tehran pop stitches phrases together. And you know generations raised during the Pahlavi dynasty’s warmth for the West were excited to apply arranging tricks they gleefully swiped from disco & funk hits. Hear the microtonal grace notes as powerhouse singers like Soli & Sattar hit devotional ecstasy. Or just groove to the glamorous party when magazine stars like Neli & Nooshafarin knock- off bass lines they heard in English language movies."
