Album Description
Released in 1976 to huge critical acclaim and skepticism in equal parts, the album smashed new boundaries both lyrically and musically. But the fact that Selda was one of the few female voices to adopt the use of such cutting edge techniques put the LP in a league of its very own. Frowned on by the paranoid Turkish authorities she would face the threat of imprisonment due to her unwaning desire for freedom of speech and a demand for a quality of human life. Selda would face future jail sentences and travel restrictions as her popularity spread amongst Turkish communities in Europe and America. Luckily Turkuola arranged the immediate release of a second which was released in late 1976 (some songs recorded in the same sessions are presented on this release as bonus tracks).

Selda, the master. April 5, 2008

Picked up this most-awesome compilation of Selda's music based on description alone (and the cover art/image is intriguing, as well). What arrived in the mail is a rewarding glance at a Turkish artist and 70s music powerhouse--one that made some strong, memorable, funky music. For any crate digger, the beats are out of this world. Plus, the time signatures and chord changes (attention music nerds) will demand your attention time and time again. The recording quality is dubby and lo-fi, but that's part of the charm.
Play loud and often.
Nice! March 27, 2007

I've seen this album floating around and never bought it because of the cover. I'd heard some of the songs before on Turkish compliations. But never associated it with Selda. Selda kicks it. It's a solid Turkish album and you won't be disapointed. I'm like "Oh Selda..." It's got some rockers and it's got some nice slower melodies. It's got it all. Don't judge an album by the cover. But now, after hearing it, the cover is mad sweet. And so is what's inside. You'd be a fool to pass this up!
Selda. Reissued. Nice!
