VIRTANEN - VINYL HAL-00 [VINYL]

Popis - HAL-00 [VINYL]:
Highly influential debut album of raunchy and energetic psychedelic early garage punk by Finnish legend Virtanen, originally released on the infamous Love Records label in 1974 and now presented as a first ever vinyl reissue. With a reputation of having wild stage shows, Virtanen's 'HAL-00' was touted as the first Finnish punk rock album not only for the raw music but also for the band's scruffy, outsider image. If Virtanen's music needs classification, it is a brand of early garage rock, with proto-punk influences, inspired by Bowie, The Who, T-Rex and The Kinks. Ahead of their time in sound and style, Virtanen's showmanship was unseen for a rock group at the time in Finland, and 'HAL-00' is nothing short of a timeless classic. Revitalised for a new era, with photo and lyric booklet with extensive liner notes.
