LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The best in early '70's Turkish pop is presented here, an extremely rare unbelieveably forward thinking record that has to be heard to be believed. Drums riffs, healthy solos and high end brass attacks fill this album. Not featuring any vocals or 45 releases, it achieved high club value and was constantly played on the TV and radio on its Turkish release in 1973, but like many Turkish LP's of the time most copies were destroyed or recycled. Perfect for all instrumental psychedelia collectors, this is a genuine find. Great cover as well. "Break Machine meets Baris Manco. The Harry Partch of Turkish Pop brings ultimate breaks to the Bosphorus B-Boys." ANDY VOTEL
