"In retrospect Selçuk Alagöz has been known for being the very first kitsch figure of Turkish pop music and being a little school for young musicians to cut their teeth and go on to form their own bands!  His records always has been confusing : very frequently you get one rocking side and the other side unbelievable irritating pop stuff."  G. Aya

Audio :

On 'Turkish delights', he's listed with the Cedars song, "Saklaran Birisen"

(Hide if you want to hide). Cedars were a Libanese band, who recorded some singles in England.  B-side "Ringo" is a Morricone's "Good, Bad, Ugly" song with some nice organ sounds in it. This is kitschy too.
