On Side we find the killer tune 'Showing The Theighs' (ให้เห็นขาอ่อน) by Rairai Na Korat (เรไร ณ โคราช).
Rairai Na Korat is a famous lukthung singer from Northeast-Thailand.
She was born in 1953 in Korat, a province in Isan.
She was the first female singer in Chaimuang Sing's succesful band called 'Lang Khao Prayuk'. Later she joined the band of another Isan-Thai music legend, Waipod Petchuphan.
Popular song of her include 'Mae Pleng Ban Rai' (แม่เพลงบ้านไร่) and 'Pai Dee Ma Dee' (ไปดีมาดี).

On Side B is the equally interesting and unique song 'Love Slave' (ทาสรัก) by Thai singer Wilai Phanom (วิไล พนม ร้อง).
He was a famous lukthung singer who sang in the vocal style of Sornkiri Sri Prachuap. Because of health problems he had to finish his career early, but consequently worked as songwriter, producer and radio host.
Hit songs of him include "Khun Nee Pee Tid Wer" and "Rak Raek Lopburi". As a songwriter he has produced many timeless hits for different singers, including Jonas Anderson and Christy Gibson, two full-blooded foreign lukthung singers.
Wilai Phanom was born on 21 October 1949 in Kanchanaburi Province. Before he became a singer he enlisted in the Royal Thai Air Force. He was promoted to the rank of Air Force Sergeant before resigning from the civil service in 1974. Wilai Phanom entered the music industry in 1970 and had to stop singing due to chronic bronchitis.
He currently has a company called Chicago Gulf Thailand, which organizes concerts and provides stages, lights, sounds, artists, and dancers all over Thailand. He also teaches singing and still composes new lukthung songs. Furthermore he is also the director of Radio Wat Thai and Tatram-en Friend Radio FM 103.75 MHz in his hometown of Kanchanaburi Province.
