LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The only album released by Peruvian band Tarkus (featuring members of Lima's legendary psych outfit Telegraph Avenue) is a heavy psych/hard rock masterpiece with echoes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Only 50 promotional copies were made available at the time of its release in 1972, making it for years a true lost classic and one of the rarest records of Latin American rock. Previous reissues of this masterpiece sold out quickly, so this is another welcome vinyl repress.
