This picture has been used for the Xotic Mind LP "Electric Türk" limited edition LP. This LP was based upon (actually unofficially reissued Turkish) tapes. Of course they themselves bootlegged the tapes including all mistakes. Also they never payed Erkin any rights. Never the less, in those days it was the first album from Turkey that attracted foreign interest in Turkish music. Windfried from Nexus Records reissued officially the "Electronic Türküler" LP, by having acchieved a deal with Erkin. The tape you see here is without any progressive material.
