ambitious projects yet: a deep dive into the rarely explored 60’s
underground scenes of Lebanon, Iran, and Israel.
Between 1965 and 1969, a small but passionate wave of bands emerged
across the Middle East, crafting their own take on the Western invasion
of garage, beat, and psychedelia. Armed with fuzz-drenched guitars,
swirling organs, and a hunger for experimentation, these young musicians
fused local influences with the raw energy of the global 60’s
counterculture — creating a sound as unique as it was fleeting.
Middle East Freakout (Garage/Beat/Pop & Psychedelia Underground
1965-1969) shines a light on this overlooked moment in music history,
compiling rare and uncompiled tracks that capture the spirit of
rebellion, joy, and fuzzed-out grooves straight from the region’s smoky
clubs and dance halls.
Each song is lovingly restored and carefully remastered for the best
possible sound.
Limited to just 300 vinyl copies, this release is both a collector’s
treasure and a must-have for anyone chasing the untold stories of the
60’s.
Let the desert winds carry you into the heart of a forgotten underground
— where East met West under the spell of fuzz, rhythm, and the
psychedelic dream.
