Velvert Turner is largely known for being a protégé 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 pink color pressing, mastered from original analog tapes, originally pressed for Record Store Day Black Friday 2019. This reissue features an alternate mix of the first song, "Madonna (of the Seven Moons)", as a bonus track.
"Velvert Turner was Jimi Hendrix's only real guitar student and protege. They were very close, and this is the only record every recorded by Velvert, making it a indispensable addition to any real collection." -Richard Lloyd (Television)
