The story begun like this: Many moons ago a former flatmate had this wondrous 1960’s or early 70’s female fronted, South Korean Trot/folk-pop record that we used to spin all the time. In my unsuccessful search for that original album I came across hours of enchanting folk, pop and gentle trot-oldies from the same era instead…
BUT *drumwhirl* now I’ve finally located the album in question (Hurrah!) and so my song search saga ends. Turns out it was by The Queen of Elegy herself: «Lee Mija's folk song album» from 1970 (featured song «Changbu Taryeong» is taken from there). Before you check out the holy grail of Trot, immerse yourself in this final hour of 20 golden trot-delights -Moahaha
