              <text>&lt;p&gt;Pictured are labels for a cassette featuring recordings of four men performing songs and improvised poetry, made at Stephen Blum’s house in Mashhad, Iran (in the northern province of Khorāsān) in January of 1969. This song, young tailor Mahmud Gaffāriān's "Vakilābād," shares its name with a major prison in Mashhad (a theme also found in another song from his session, "&lt;span&gt;Shabi be gusheh-e zendān"):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
