The 40 Watt Banana, formed in 1968, was a unique band in New Zealand, the only group that ventured into the esoteric realm of Indo-Afro psychedelic music. Peeled includes their sought-after 45 from 1971 (the sitar-psych-dancer "Nirvana") plus previously unreleased recordings full of sitar, tabla, sarod, tanpura, trumpet, recorder, effects, and tape echo. Formed by Kevin Clark and Dave Parsons, initially as a jazz combo playing in restaurants, they soon incorporated elements of Indian and African music to their sound, after some soul searching and spiritual experiences. The result was an atmospheric, spacey, improvised sound. In 1971, they released their only 45 for the HMV label. It featured a great sitar-psych track, "Nirvana", similar to other psychedelic jazz-pop-funk experiments from the time such as "Mathar" by Dave Pike Set. But during the late '60s and early '70s, the band also recorded other stuff which has remained unreleased until now. Includes insert with photos and liner notes by band member Kevin Clark (now a renowned world/jazz/fusion music artist).

LP version. Pharaway Sounds presents a reissue of Barış Manco's second proper studio album, Nick The Chopper, originally released in 1976. Recorded in Belgium with help from session musicians related to Placebo, Janko Nilovic, and Mad Unity, among others, Nick The Chopper features lyrics in English, huge orchestral sections, and re-arrangements of many of the melodies from his 1975 masterpiece 2023 (GUESS 038CD/106LP). Barış spent his whole life trying to communicate to the wider world outside Turkey. This was his last attempt at doing so with an album before turning to a travel television show to visit faraway places and talk to the young and old, one on one. Every production trick of the glorious 1970s was deployed to push Barış Manco up the European charts, and now Pharaway Sounds pushes him right into your brain instead. Presented with newly designed artwork, remastered sound and an insert with photos and liner notes.

Famous for their matching, colorful suits and always-happy smiles, Beyaz Kelebekler ("White Butterflies") were a mixed-gender Turkish band very popular during the '70s. They released one album plus numerous 45s in Turkey and other countries like Holland and Italy. In 1976 during the last day of their European tour, just after one gig in Cologne, Beyaz Kelebekler visited a studio of a friend which was still in construction. They decided to record a few songs, just for fun and for testing the new studio equipment. It was a very basic, one-take recording, using an eight-channel mixer, a few mics, and a reel-to-reel tape machine. The result was an amazing example of Anatolian psych-funk, featuring wah-fuzz guitar, flute, heavy drums, joyous male/female vocals... Unreleased until now, Pharaway Sounds present the first ever release of these surprising recordings, rescued from the only surviving cassette tape. Includes color insert with photos.

LP version. Pharaway Sounds present Anana Funk Hip, 1970-1975, a compilation of recordings by Dolores Vargas "La Terremoto". Anana Funk Hip is dedicated to the '70s period of Dolores Vargas, known as "The Earthquake" due to her wild and frenzied dancing style. In these songs, released 1970-1975, you'll hear killer sound and production mixing funk, rock, and pop with the powerful vocal style of "The Earthquake". Including real gipsy-funk bombs like "A La Pelota", "Anana Hip", or "La Hawaiana" along with her bizarre cover version of "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" and much more. If you're looking from flamenco funk and groovy rumba pop, look no further. Master tape sound. Includes insert with liner notes by Txarly Brown (Achilifunk) and photos.
From Txarly Brown's liner notes: "Dolores Vargas was our wildest performer, our Spanish Tina Turner, Ikettes-era. In my opinion, she was a better dancer and singer than Lola Flores but she never received the same media attention than the famous Lola. Maybe it's better this way. Dolores Vargas is wine for sommeliers and since now, music for connoisseurs."

LP version. Pharaway Sounds present No Llores Mas, a compilation of recordings from Morena Y Clara. There were two labels in Spain during the '70s which were essential to understand the birth of the rumba-flamenco-pop genre: Belter and Discophon. Thanks to the work of adventurous in-house producers and sound engineers like Josep Llobell, Joan Barcons and Lauren Postigo, funk, rock, disco and jazz arrangements were incorporated to recordings of folkloric flamenco singers and rumba bands. The result was explosive and the Spanish market was flooded with "gipsy-rock" or "rumba pop" 45s and LPs, some of them highly sought-after today by international DJs looking for exotic beats. The apparition of Spanish female duo Las Grecas with their gipsy-rock sound in the '70s created quite a boom in the Spanish market at the time and paved the way for other similar gipsy-rock duos. Morena Y Clara were one of them. Launched by bizarre flamenco producer Lauren Postigo, they released a string of 45s and three LPs (highly sought after now) for the Discophon label. They mixed rumba, flamenco, psychedelic rock, funk, and disco music featuring an amazing production (heavy drums, fuzz-wah-phaser electric guitars, Moog, Hammond) over the wild flamenco female vocals of the duo. No Llores Mas features their psycho-tronic hits like "No Llores Más", "Dejé De Quererte", "Buscando Alegría", and more. Includes insert with liner notes by Txarly Brown (Achilifunk) and photos.

Pharaway Sounds present the first ever compilation dedicated to this groundbreaking Peruvian label, Discos Horóscopo. Founded by Juan Campos in 1977, the Discos Horóscopo label was the major outlet for the real Peruvian chicha sound: a surreal and irresistible blend of psychedelic fuzz-tone guitars, infectious echo-drenched vocals, electronic keyboards, and tropical/Andean rhythms. During its 15 years of existence, Discos Horóscopo was the home of the biggest names of the chicha sound, from the legendary Chacalón Y La Nueva Crema to Los Destellos, Los Ovnis, Grupo Alegría, all featured here. 11 tracks taken from rare 45s and LPs. Also features: Tongo Y Su Grupo Imaginación, Chacalón Y La Nueva Crema, La Mermelada, Grupo Maravilla, Pintura Roja, Los Shapis, Cuarteto Universal, Grupo Halley, and Grupo Celeste. Remastered sound; Color insert with detailed liner notes and photos.
"It was these groups that, as part of a cultural complex where Discos Horóscopo had a central role, built and developed the stage of 'chicha music', filling the lives of thousands of men and women who made us of their right to joy in a changing yet greatly convulsed environment that, nevertheless, offered opportunities to build a better life in the future." --Carlos Leyva Arroyo
