Various – Middle East Freakout (1965-1969)

Sunnyboy66 Records is proud to unveil one of its most exciting and 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.
