Remaco RL024 - Various Artists

REMACO RL 024
ALFIAN, DIAH ISKANDAR, NENENG SALMIAH, TJITJIEK SUWARNO,
Band: Zainal Combo
Conductor: Zainal Arifin
Year: 1965

Sadly enough the cover is missing, because those Remaco-covers were made of ordinary paper, which can tear easily.
The record is full with scratching sounds, I tried the water and soap treatment but it did not work out well, as the crackles are caused by damages on the record.
So as a last resort I used the ( trial ) software " DePopper " which cleared the sound, but traces of the scratches are still detectable.
A mixed variety of " Old School " singers from the mid sixties.

" Sebiduk Di Sungai Musi " - A little boat on the Musi river -
" Kita Pasti Menang " - We will certainly win - A patriotic song, she stands for her country and her man who           is far away in action at the border during the time of the " konfrontasi "
" Malam Tiada Bintang " - A starless night -
" Salamat Jalan Kawan " - A good voyage my friend -
" Hampa " - Emptyness -
" Terpaut Di Yogya " - Connected to Yogya -
" Kunaon Neuteup Ka Abdi " ( a Sundanese song, its title I cannot translate )
" Tidurlah Adikku " - Dleep, my little one
