Angkanang Kunchai -  Never Forget Me

Debuting at 15 in 1971, with a hit to a soundtrack the following year, and stirring some controversy with the fusion of molam and luk thung, Angkanang Kunchai became a star in Thailand at only 16. Her 1979 release features her interest in bass, drums and percussion.

I bought this from Transition Records in 2017 initially on the back of the cover alone, and then via the tracks on the B side You're So Cold and the title track. I had hoped the whole album carried the b side grove. The first half sounds more traditional until you get to Promise of My Love and you hear a synth.

I use to play this on our radio show a lot. It's not an album I can listen to often but I enjoyed giving it a spin this morning and reappreciating it.
