This "Kanamam" somehow sounds like a 60s Turkish garage version of the Buzzcocks. |

Something about the backup vocal harmonies and the rhythm of the lead vocal line. |
![]() |
![]() 'Smile' - written by Charlie Chaplin! |
![]() |
![]() (...oh, he wrote the tune not lyrics says wigkey...) In the 'Garage' tradition - 1st time in studio - not a lot of takes!... |

I somehow missed these releases. Yeah. Hurriyet was traditionally the more secular and liberal Turkish paper (they have an English web presence, where I used to get most of my Turkish news). However, since the 'coup', they started to use a more pro-Erdogan tone. |

![]() NGH! |

![]() Ironically, the most musically conservative (for Turkey, at the time) won the 1965 competition |

![]() i love this stuff... the recording quality of all of it is just gorgeous, super thick and warm... really wonder what kind of production equipment and recording consoles they had in the studio. |
![]() |
![]() Oh, man -- would love to have watched some of these recording sessions. I wonder if any were ever filmed. They would have had to have been ... no? |
![]() |
![]() Hm. Don't know the scene - but being filmed was a much bigger deal then...massive gaps in the record that way for even really important bands... |
![]() |
![]() True ... |
![]() |
![]() good question. |
![]() |
![]() So true about the sound tho'. For the 'West' - '66 is considered - Thee Year in many ways - for Garage &tc. ... |

Most of my Turkish friends aren't really that into Turkish music per se, and many of them are musicians. Every time I try to impress them w/ my knowledge of Turkish music, they just humor me.... |

ngh, that's my experience with most of the japanese people i've known - not into the traditional music at all. i have 2 turkey friends though, one who loves all kinds of music, including that of the other one, who sings awesomely. when she visits she rejoins her former band where i live, who plays traditional songs and traditionally influenced music. |

![]() Coel, not sure what band that is ... original source doesn't cite it |
