KORAY ERKIN - VINYL MECHUL: SINGLES & RARITIES [VINYL]

Popis - MECHUL: SINGLES & RARITIES [VINYL]:
All tracks on this compilation were recorded and released in Turkey between 1970-1977 and culled from Koray's personal
vinyl collection. Includes exclusive photos and remastered audio. An iconic guitar and songwriting genius. A voice of gold - having founded the country's first ever rock and roll group in 1957, he is regarded worldwide as the father of Turkish rock. Forging western sounds with his own inimitable musical mastery, he self-produced singles and LPs throughout the 1960s and 1970s that shook and altered Turkish society. Erkin didn't stop at rock and roll. Over time, he began to find inspiration in folk sounds from Turkey's Anatolian interior, and radio broadcasts received from Egypt and Lebanon. He looked to the east from his west-leaning Istanbul perch, and began incorporating these sounds into his own work.
