Nass el Ghiwane 1.0 Initial Singles are Non-LP Versions (My Bad)

Whoops - this is a correction to my previous post about the recordings of Nass el Ghiwane 1.0. I incorrectly assumed that the first two Nass el Ghiwane 7-inch singles (1972) contained the same version of "Siniya", "Ya Bani El Insane" and "Al Madi Fate" that appeared on their first LP Disque d'Or (1973). I was mistaken. I commend to you the outstanding YouTube channel of Ismael Abo Salma, who has put together chronological playlists of most of the great Moroccan Ghiwani groups. His Nass el Ghiwane playlist starts off with these two singles, and indeed they are different recordings of these groundbreaking songs!

Here is a corrected version of my discography of Nass el Ghiwane 1.0 released while they were together, now with YouTube links:

To atone for my research error, I have obtained a copy of one of these early singles and am sharing a remastered version from my vinyl rip here.

These 1972 studio versions are actually quite different from the 1973 versions. The recording quality is not as good, and the band improved as a unit between 1972 and 1973. By the time they re-recorded these songs for the LP, the arrangements were much tighter. String players Allal Yaala and Moulay Abdelaziz Tahiri are supporting the vocals with more sensitivity and playing off of each other more. The 1972 arrangement of "Siniya" is a bit different, including an additional rubato section in the second half of the song. In all, it's fascinating to hear these early versions of the songs. I prefer the 1973 remakes, but these initial sides were what catapulted the group to success.
