Fikret Kızılok - Fikret Kızılok (World Psychedelia, 2005) *Flac & 320 mp3

"Ace collection of singles by Turkish protest singer FIKRET KIZILOK much-beloved by young musicians in the underground scene in Turkey, but virtually unknown anywhere else! The fifteen tracks included here (all from 1970-1974) sport some heavy grooves ('Leylim, Leylim,' 'Gözlerinden Bellidir,' 'Gün Ola Devran Döne,' and the fuzz-guitar heavy 'Koyverdin Gittin Beni'), but also tantalizes with moody, introspective musings in an Eastern vein ('Akyin Vari, Akyin,' 'Haberin Var Mi' and the sitar-laced 'Köroglu Daglary'! Very highly recommended!" (Sounds of the Universe)

It'd be tough to overstate my love for the classic Kızılok. Turkish psych heaven. This 2005 collection from the World Psychedelia (bootleg) label stands as my very first Flac offering here at Ghostcapital. And to you Turkish speakers: the Flac conversion process (via xAct) totally mangled your umlats & cedillas. So sorry. Enjoy.

Really been feeling these vintage Turkish mixes by DJ Kerriem. He's a Turkish-rooted DJ based out of Germany whose vintage Psych-Funk crates runneth over. Plenty of rare groove over at his MixCloud.

Erkin Koray- 45rpm Singles 1967-1976

Just discovered this nice little goldmine on an extremely random messageboard in the nether regions of the interweb. After a wee bit of research, I found that it was posted once in early '08 at the Hippy-dj kit. Their link is dead, and this is a must, so enjoy!

From the write-up at Hippy-dj kit:

Erkin Koray (born June 24, 1941), has been in the Turkish rock music scene since the late 1950s. He is widely acclaimed as being the first person to ever play rock and roll in Turkey in 1957, he and his band gained notoriety by playing covers of Elvis Presley and Fats Domino. He was also one of the first Turkish musicians to embrace the electric guitar and modern amplification.
By the late 1960s, he was already a major figure in Turkish psychedelic music and Anatolian Rock, beginning with his first psychedelic single Anma Arkadaş in 1967. Koray followed this with a number of singles, both by himself and in collaboration with others, that established him as a force to be reckoned with on the Turkish rock scene.

Koray became a controversial figure in Turkey during the 1960s and 1970s he was actually assaulted in Istanbul, and on one occasion stabbed, for having long hair.
