Technically his 2nd lp after a collection of singles, this benchmark record from 1974 taught Istanbul�s musicians & pop fans how to put Turkish folk songs from the 17th century together with meaty, thundering guitar solos. Check!

With a crack bass player by his side (Ahmet G�ven� from Bunalim & Baris Manco�s Kurtalan Ekspres) & an electrified bağlama in his hands, Erkin Koray lets his gloomy baritone voice float over wiry double-reed melodies, bulging riffs, & hammer-ons that go on for-friggin-ever. Savagery begins at home people, so make sure you get a physical copy of the best record by the Turkish Hendrix into your house.

Gatefold cover, 180g vinyl, insert with linernotes.
