The Jacks- 2nd Live Show(Live 68-7-24)

1968 Japan Psychedelic Rock

VERY RARE!

a quite good sounding live lp (originally 200 pressed in 1968)
a must have for fans of japanese psych and garage.
this reissue is limited to 500 copies.
it took some time for me to track this one down on slsk

most of the stuff is from their first album,but also contains one track from super session
but this version is superior (11 minute version of Battlefield in my head)

there are also some tracks wich dont apear on any album like:Daisy,Where and Gone My Yumiko


some of the not so much info i could find about this bootleg:

The Jacks were a 60's band from Japan who sang mostly in Japanese and didn't seem as fixated on America as the rest of the bands of the time
What you get is a pretty nice boot of this super rare, fan club only LP.
If you are expecting tons of over the top, crazed action you might be a bit perplexed.
What you get is an amazingly tight set of most of their hits with flashes of over the top guitar and vocals.
Very Japanese, very amazing.

Originally released in an edition of only 200 copies in Japan in 1968, this legendary psych group's rarest record is made readily available at last in a very limited, numbered edition.
Housed in an eye-popping, four-paneled sleeve, which unfolds into a giant poster.
Limited to 500 numbered copies. Originals: $1500+"

go get it!

3 Hur-El-Hurel Arsivi

1976? Turkish Psychedelic Rock

a excellent album of turkish psychedelic rock
highly recommended for anyone interested in the turkish psych/prog scene


some information from progresive.homested.com:


Unlike every other band in Turkey, the three Hürel brothers (Feridun,Onur and Haldun) never played cover songs on stage or on record. Feridun who wrote the songs and sang, played a double-necked instrument : one neck for guitar, the other for saz." G.A. & J.D.



"One of the most interesting groups of Turkish progressive music, a legendary sound. 3 brothers, Onur, Haldun, Feridun Hurel: 3 Hur-El. Their first band was at 1966 "Istanbul 4".. Then 1970 3 Hur-El with their special sound. First LP 1972.

As an important differance, the three Hurel brothers didn't play cover songs or turkish music compositions. Feridun did the original composes and lyrics, and sang, also played a double-necked instrument : one neck for guitar, the other for turkish saz. Was a great combination. With special drums, percussions and combination of west-east instruments, they created a new synthesis. That was a great progressive sound of 70's, with great rhythms.

Their second LP "Hurel Arsivi" , 1976, is their most important work (selections from singles)

of the group, amazing rhytms, incredible guitar playing, some psych sounds and vocals...

A must listen."
