KUALA LUMPUR: Naza Mohamad, a record store owner and musician, is slowly starting to see that the masses love the idea of someone documenting “untold stories” in the Malaysian music scene, especially those from its more obscure corners in the 1960s and 1970s.

“I never thought that putting out a book about ‘lost’ Malaysian music would attract so much attention from the younger generation, but I’m glad that people are starting to rediscover our pop music culture, which really hasn’t been documented properly,” said Naza at the launch of his book Psyche Oh! A Go Go at the Vans store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
