***The first proper reissue of ERKIN 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. Originally released in 1973, the tracks are culled from Koray’s singles from the previous five years, and encompass a pretty potent period in music. 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.
