That seven inch was the first record documenting the burgeoning DIY punk scene in Turkey of the early nineties. When listening to a recent Turkish band like Ultimate Blowup, i realise those punks came from a long way.
"Headbangers was the first Turkish punk band (live recording from 1989, in Turkish). Spinners was the first all-girl punk band in Ankara. The 3 other bands were the precursors of HC Turkish style. Most have disbanded now, except for Radical Noise who has 3 CD's out."
These are pretty lo-fi recordings gathered on this record, and the pressing quality's quite bad, i tried my best to reduce the cracks and pops and general surface noise on this slab of vinyl. Crappy music maybe, but the interest here lies elsewhere... Tian an Men 89 record label has an interesting mission about revealing and exposing the unknown and exotic pioneering punk scenes around the world. Now they're focusing on Central Asia and Arab countries. Check their Discogs.com entry to get an better idea of the job done.
