Format:
LP
Price:
$25.00
Catalog #:
MIZ 088LP
"Absolutely over the top debut album by Turkish psychedelic guitar guru. At last reissued on vinyl, this is the rarest of all Erkin albums but also the rarest Turkish psych album ever. This album, originally released in 1973, is actually a compilation of singles from the previous years since 1968. You can notice the difference in time when listening to the album, with some tracks kinda pre- psychedelic and some others heavily into it, but all of them with that unique Eastern feel that the guitar master gives to their recordings. Definitely, the best Koray album together with
Elektronik Turkuler
, a total masterpiece."

NOSMOKE 004LP
"First time-ever vinyl reissue of the third album by Turkish psych guru, Erkin Koray. Much more traditional sounding than his other, early to late '70s works, this is also an album that catches you at first listen. There's less guitar than usual here, yes, but it's a splendid set of ethnic Turkish traditional sounds with some occidental feel, with some real killer tracks on it."

2008 repress of this grey-area reissue of classic material by this elusive Turkish psychedelic legend; previously reissued on LP by the German Damla label. Unlike previous Koray albums (including some CDs that have come out in Turkey that are basically impossible to find), this appears to be a straight reissue of a complete album from 1974. Beautifully developed Eastern melodies via a folk-ish/psych merger and some of Koray's most extended tracks. Mesmerizing stuff.

Reissue, with five bonus tracks. "First time on CD for this more advanced fusion of eastern and ethnic music from Turkish psychedelic master Koray; this is actually his third album (second for the Dogan label), and is the 1976 follow-up to the immensely excellent
Elektronik Turkuler
; the album tracks themselves were recorded between 1972-1976, and were first issued as singles; five bonus tracks are great! and come from 1967, 1968, and 1971... as well as an undocumented acoustic version of 'Yalnizar Rihtimi' from
Turkuler
; lyrics and photos in 8-page booklet."

WPC6 8494
"First proper reissue of Koray's first album, an absolutely over the top debut album by the Turkish psychedelic guitar guru, which is not only the rarest of all of his albums, but also the rarest Turkish psychedelic album of them all; the record was released in 1973, but is actually culled from Koray's singles from the previous five years. This wide range of dates (1968-73) encompasses a pretty potent period in music, and makes for great variety; some tracks have a kind of pre-psychedelic vibe, while others have the swirling hashish heaviness of that most elusive thing, a sound that one might deem 'pure psychedelia'; in any case, every track has that unique Eastern feel that Koray brings to all his recordings. The end result is definitely on a par of greatness with
Elektronik Turkuler
, which makes this a must-have album for any psychedelic head! And as if that wasn't enough, there are eight incredible bonus cuts from the same period as the album tracks, only ever released as singles, that include some of the most blistering material Koray ever recorded. Wow! Liner notes have plentiful information on Erkin Koray's early career, as well as lyrics for some songs... alas, only in Turkish."
