"Turkish Delight"

Here is an album-length compilation I made almost exactly 40 years ago, maybe my first - and only - "international mix tape".

Notes: Circa early-mid 1980's. That's the music here.
I was traveling from London to Paris to Istanbul to Kismet...

I taped what I heard on local pop radio in Paris/London, on a "Walk Man", and as I travelled through Turkiye, I used "discos/bibliotheques" - little stores with recent popular 'records' (33 & 45rpm). And turntables and tape recorder. You'd say, "can I have x song and y song?" and they handed you a cassette. So years later (busy with school, life, etc.) I made an audio tape, during my music/recording/radio daze.... Must have played this 1000 times. To date, I'm guessing less than a dozen people have heard this.

It begins with some Euro-pop songs which were highly contagious, like "Da Da Da", and then gets into some spirited traditional/pop Turkish and mult-national music, some very rock, some comedic/theatrical (11:45). Anyway, here we are, going on 2024, 40 years since beginning the making of this. Should be high quality audio despite its age, so.... 🎧 🔉 Have a listen. Imagine yourself on a small boat on the Aegean, deep blue seas, music dancing and singing and swimming, and then to a seaside cafe beneath a disco... and camels.

Türkei will nicht mehr "Turkey" heißen | DW | 31.05.2022

Die Türkei hadert mit der englischen Schreibweise ihres Landesnamen. In der internationalen Diplomatie will sie nicht mehr "Turkey" genannt werden, sondern "Turkiye". Grund ist die Zweideutigkeit des englischen Namens.#Türkei #Turkey #Turkiye #Umbenennung #Diplomatie
