Various Artists - "A Musical Anthology Of The Orient - (Afghanistan)" (Bärenreiter-Musicaphon) 1968

No i'm not turning into a Middle Class Bourgeois Prat! I'm a working class Plebeian Bourgeois Prat with too much spare time on his hands. Nor do I think I'm Peter Gabriel , who is 99%certain that he invented World Music single-handedly, seasoned with lashings of English public school Empire guilt. An empire run by persons that most Progressive Rockers' called their grand parents ......Phil Collins excluded of course.There were rivals for the crown, like David Byrne, Eno, Jah Wobble and Can of course,but most of them entertained at least some degree of humility....unlike the king of the 80's etho-theft Mafia.....Paul Simon, who should be, quite frankly, shot at dawn by an AI assassination-bot,but only after draining Simon's mind of Data and deleting it, forever! This all dies with him.The point is, that there was a thriving DIY culture going down long before the Buzzcocks and Desperate Bicycles, and what better way to illustrate this fact than to present a nice bourgeois coffee table…
