Malaysian music history has always been left undocumented despite having a great deal of importance in the early years. We speak to Adly Syairi Ramly, co-author of Psyche Oh Agogo – lost gems of Malaysian and Singaporean music from 1964 to 1974, as well as Omar Ariff, who wrote a chronological history of Malaysian pop legends band The Strollers, to find out to know about the value and importance of local music history literature.
