ERKIN KORAY

"ILLA KI"

MEGA-RARE TURKEY ORIGINAL TURKEY EMRE LABEL ORIGINAL H.E.33-520 STEREO, THE REAL DEAL TURKISH PSYCH & FOLK PSYCH MASTER, GUITARIST, SONGWRITER, SINGER, MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST... IF YOU AREN'T HIP TO ERKIN KORAY THEN YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO PSYCH SCHOOL AND PAY MORE ATTENTION. BEFORE THE INTERNET, HIS LP'S WERE FETCHING 1000'S OF DOLLARS, AND STILL DO IF & WHEN YOU CAN A STONE MINT COPY OF ONE OF THEM.  FAT CHANCE.

HIS MUSIC VARIES FROM TRULY INCREDIBLE FOLK PSYCH ON TRADITIONAL TIURKISH INSTRUMENTS, 12-STRING & 6-STRING GUITARS, ETC, TO OUTRIGHT ELECTRIC ROCK. HE IS REFERRED TO AS THE TURKISH JIMI HENDRIX, BUT THIS IS FAR TOO SIMPLISTIC. HE REALLY SOUNDS NOTHING AT ALL LIKE HENDRIX, KORAY IS KORAY. THE FACT THAT HIS RECORDS ARE ALL IN TURKISH IS NOT A DRAWBACK. IT FITS, IT'S PERFECT, AND ESPECIALLY ON THE ACOUSTIC FOLK PSYCH STUFF, COULD PASS TO AN UNEDUCATED ENGLISH EAR, AS CHANTING. AMAZING.  

HERE YOU HAVE ONE OF HIS MOST ASTOUNDING LP'S, ABSOLUTELY THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRESSED ON OPAQUE BROWN, SWIRLY COLORED VINYL. BRIGHT, CLEAN LABELS AND VERY NICE PLAYING SURFACES WITH LITERALLY ONLY 2 TOTALLY MINOR SUPERFICIAL FINGER OR SPINDLE MARKS.

COVERS ON ORIGINAL TURKISH LP'S ARE VERY LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION AND EASILY WORN OR DAMAGED, THUS THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN GOOD SHAPE. OTHER THAN MODERATE EDGE SHELF WEAR AND SOME GENERAL CRINKLING, LIGHT CREASING & AGE, AND A SMALL MINOR RECTANGULAR STICKER RESIDUE ON THE COVER, THIS COVER IS INTACT & IN OVERALL NICE SHAPE.

THE MINUTE YOU HEAR A KORAY LP YOU UNDERSTAND THE LINK BETWEEN AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC OF THE LATE 60'S & EARLY 70'S AND THE OBVIOUS TURKISH/EASTERN ROOTS HEARD THEREIN.

TRACKS (IN TURKISH, OF COURSE):

• ILLA KI
• SARHOS GIBIYIM
• DELI KADIN
• KIZLARI DA ALIN ASKERE
• BOSUNA
• TEK BASINA
• GEL BANA GULE GULE
• HOP HOP GELSIN

OVERALL A CLEAN VG TO VG+ COVER WITH ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS SOLID VG++ LP.

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT - ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION, - THIS LP IS TRULY MEGA RARE.
