فيروز Fairuz: يا غزيل Ya Ghozayel / هلا لا ليا Hala la Laya


A swell recent find from the Pasadena City College swap meet: an early pair of sides by Fairuz, turquoise songstress of Beirut. This record dates from 1957, the year Parlophone / Voix de L'Orient released her first LPs.

  1. Happy New Year, Taylor!
    Swap meets are wunnerful places to visit. Sadly, I haven't been to one in decades, not since 1985.
    But this blog is a type of swap meet, because one never knows what treasures will turn up. This gem released by Parlophone looks interesting! Thanks again, Taylor!

    1. Where are you based? I don't get out to the swap meets on an obsessive basis, but I'm pretty spoiled, being based in Burbank - lots of choices: Rose Bowl, Pasadena City College, Buena Park...
