BARIS MANCO-2023

-Turkish Psych Rock

NEW LP

REISSUE

GUERSSEN

From 1975, this is Baris Manos masterpiece.

Stunning cosmic, psychedelic, groovy conceptual album with fantastic electronics use and a strong Turkish folk flavour as usual.

Legit deluxe release. Comes with the original gatefold cover, reproduction of the full colour booklet, and insert with extensive linernotes. 350g carton cover, 180g vinyl

The first ever real debut album full of Anatolian tunes and all kinds of stuff you would want from Baris Manco, the Turkish psych/prog master! Includes the well known 10 minute long 2023 and Baykoca Destani.

This is kebab rock, listen to it while it's hot!

Baris Manco was one of the most influential Turkish musicians of all times. In his early career he and his bands contributed to the Turkish Rock movement by combining traditional Turkish music with rock influences, which is still one of the main trends of Turkish popular music. His visual image characterised by his long hair, mustache and big rings softened the reaction of otherwise conservative Turkish public opinion regarding the marginal visual appearances.

In 1972, he formed Kurtalan Ekspres, a legend by itself, the band that would accompany him until his death. In 1975 until when he continued to release singles, he released his first non-compilation LP 2023, a concept album that includes many instrumental songs.

As a last attempt to reach international success, he released the LP titled Baris Mancho (1976), a strange transcription of his name, mostly with George Hayes Orchestra under CBS Records label, in Europe and South Africa. Although the album did not bring the fame he was expecting, it did reach the top of the charts in Romania and Morocco.

Next year, the album was released in Turkey under the title Nick the Chopper.
