Velvert Turner Group - Velvert Turner Group [LP] (Colored Vinyl, mastered from original analog tapes, limited to 2500, indie-exclusive)
Velvert Turner is largely known for being a protege and student of Jimi Hendrix, who he met as a teenager in New York in the late '60s.
The influence is immediately clear, with respect to both Turner's guitar work and vocals. Some have even mistaken his only album for a ''lost'' Hendrix recording, and it's hard to blame them.
Velvert Turner Group's self-titled 1972 release, which aptly closes with a tribute to Hendrix (a cover of ''Freedom''), has been out of print for decades. Now it's coming back to vinyl with a color pressing, mastered from original analog tapes, exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday.
