BELOW IS A REVIEW:

From the hidden depths of the eastern Mediterranean, down in the Capadocian mistery lands, comes Bulent Ortaçgil, one of national musical treasures of Turkey,

Ortaçgil, or Bülent, which became his artistic name in his beginnings, during the much loved and never forgotten sixties, made a name to himself on the same scene as Fikret Kizilok,

KIZILOK who has now made some waves since his inclusion on Damon and Naomi's compilation "International Sad Hits".

But Bülent's music, much as it was of its time, was not at all sad, even though it also came from the heart. And what a heart.

It could be said that his voice was indeed as sweet as that of the Golden Horn, and that his music united two continents as much as the Galata Bridge united two parts of Istanbul.

For Bülent's music was deeply Turkish but assimilated the folk flavours of the day, British or American, but the most gentle and perfumed ones. Want names? Donovan and Nick Drake, mainly.

VINYL:

VG+ TO VG++

INCREDIBLE HARD TO FIND A COPY IN THIS SHAPE, IF YOU COLLECT TURKISH RECORDS YOU SHOLD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE DIFFICULTY IN FINDING CLEAN COPIES OF TURKISH LP'S AND 45'S

SIDE A IS A STRONG VG++

SIDE B HAS ONE VERY VERY LIGHT MARK VISABLE, PLAYS REALLY GREAT WITH EXTREMLY FAINT SURFACE NOISE DETACTIBLE IN SOME PASAGES, STILL NOT A DISTRACTION TO MUSIC

THE MUSIC ON THIS LP IS VERY QUITE AND SOFT AND ITS ONE LP COLLECTORS SHOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING A CLEAN COPY,

WOULD BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO FIND A COPY IN SUCH CLEAN SHAPE AS THIS ONE, THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS HARDLY EVER SHOW UP, AND THIS IS A VERY NICE COLLECTIBLE COPY
