"Longing for the Past: The 78 rpm Era in Southeast Asia" is a richly illustrated companion volume that explores the history of recorded music in Southeast Asia during the first half of the 20th century. Through rare photographs, vintage record labels, and in-depth essays, the book documents the cultural, political, and commercial forces that shaped the region’s early music industry across countries like Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. A visual and historical archive, it captures the spirit of a bygone era marked by colonial influence and local artistry.
