Les Frères Megri Mahmoud Hassan Younes 1974 psych folk Philips Morocco RARE VG+
Ultra rare psych folk rock monster from Morocco, featuring the three Megri brothers Hassan, Mahmoud and Younes, well known session musicians and producers, who released a few singles in the late 60s and early 70s.
As has been said elsewhere, "They re-recorded some of the singles tracks with Younes and the result is one of the finest examples of the early '70s progressive, psych, folk sounds coming from North Africa and beyond. This is an album that stands as a high point for the genre globally. A baroque folk approach that demonstrates utterly mesmerizing results, psychedelic, electric guitars, sitars, bongos, swirling multi-tracked vocals that sound like prime era Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Trees, and the first two Pink Floyd albums -- It is of that pedigree. A holy grail LP that has been near impossible to locate."
Vinyl has marks and hairlines but easily plays VG+ with some surface noise. Laminated sleeve is fine though has small cut out section at opening edge. Lined white inner sleeve with one corner cut.
Stunning find. You may never see another original copy. Sensible offers welcome.
