Album lore

Issued on 오아시스레코드 뮤직컴퍼니 in late 1971, Hit Music Album Vol. 1 The Word Without You/The Moment of Goodbye collects ten tracks by Jokers, a band rooted in Iranian musical textures with a curious blend of neo-rockabilly and psychedelic touches. The record includes titles such as "The Word Without You," "At the Moment of Farewell," and a rendition of "AMAZING GRACE," revealing a palette that spans both local sentiment and Western forms, all underpinned by the era’s shifting cultural landscape.The album’s instrumentation and arrangement suggest a group navigating tradition and contemporaneity, with a sound that might appeal to collectors seeking artifacts of Iranian popular music’s less trodden paths. Though modest in footprint—just over 7,000 listeners on Last.fm—it stands as a signal from 1971, offering a rare glimpse into the eclectic impulses at play beyond the main currents of that year’s global rock and folk scenes.
