A cornerstone of Turkish psychedelic rock, Erkin Koray’s legendary self-titled debut album gets a long-overdue reissue, courtesy of Survival Research. Originally released in 1973, this essential record blends fuzz-drenched guitar riffs with Eastern scales, traditional Turkish instrumentation, and hypnotic grooves—crafting a truly singular sound that helped define the Anatolian rock movement.

Often referred to as the “father of Turkish rock,” Erkin Koray was a visionary who fearlessly fused Western psychedelic influences (like Hendrix, Cream, and The Doors) with deeply rooted Turkish folk melodies. The result is a cosmic, genre-bending trip—raw, soulful, and decades ahead of its time.

This high-quality reissue restores the original album artwork and features remastered audio, making it an essential addition for collectors, crate diggers, and fans of global psych.
