Release date: 08-08-2007 (orginally release in 1977) 2007 limited reissue of 500 pcs of 10-Track vinyl, pressing on hq vinyl-the first full length album by Turkish rock star Erkin Koray. The album is a collection of singles dating from 1967 - 1973. This 4th album by the man had never been reissued on vinyl befor, and one who did a lot to fuse American rock styles with arabesk", a Turkish version of Arab popular music!with the original artwork in beautiful gatefold cover. Tracks: 01. Şaşkın 02. Eyvah 03. Feshupanallah 04. Sevince 05. Esterabim 06. Arap Saçı 07. Hayat Bir Teselli 08. Komşu Kızı 09. Gönül Salıncığı 10. Tımbıllı Erkin Koray is 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 and a must have album for any psychedelic head!!!
