Turn Onto Music
Linited edition of 300 copies worldwide. "PLAY THIS ALBUM MANTISSIMO (That means loud baby)." So it says on the back of one of the rarest NZ pressed albums, by the greatest Fijian rock band ever. Mantis recorded the legendary Turn Onto Music LP during a four month visit to Wellington, New Zealand in 1973. Some serious FIJIAN funk with a garagey-Santana feel, and sometimes almost Stooge-like in parts, the album was released in NZ only on local Vertigo in a limited run of 300 copies. Lead guitarist was famed albino Fijian guitar hero Waisea 'Wise' Vatuwaga who had cut his teeth in the Suva rock scene of the sixties. This is the first official re-issue of the album from master tapes.
