3LP Vinyl – NA 5066

Now-Again Records is proud to present Back from the Brink, the only legitimately licensed collection of the godfather of Iranian psychedelic rock, Kourosh Yaghmaei. Known within the Iranian diaspora simply by his first name, Kourosh’s Pre-Revolution recordings were thought lost after Islamic fundamentalists took control of Iran. They weren’t: Kourosh had protected them – along with key ephemera from the 70’s. Their collection here – spread over 2 CDs, 3 LPs and a 4×7” box set – bolstered by Kourosh’s first person recollections of Iran’s 70s rock scene and its death after the Revolution- tells the story of an driven artist’s desire to persevere in the face of terrible adversity.

This essential piece of Iran’s musical history is accompanied in all formats by a full color book with extensive liner notes, never-before-seen photos and ephemera.
