"Turkish Delight" again:
This is from Homeground No. 32, p. 8:

"A track which has appeared on certain 'instant' tape cassette bootlegs
recently has caused some puzzlement. The name of the track is 'Turkish
Delight'. It isn't written or performed by Kate. It was recorded by an
outfit called 'China Doll', and it was released by EMI (Parlophone) as a
single in July 1983. It was a cold methodical rip-off of an accountant's
view of what constituted the 'Kate Bush Style'. DJs who could not find
space for Tenner on their programmes, found space for this travesty,
introducing it as 'the new Kate Bush single' (yet another one). We thought
it sounded like Faith Brown doing an impression of Pamela Stephenson doing
an impression of Kate on a bad day. ..."

To me it sounds even now rather good, but: okay ...(blah, blah, blah...)
I think it is now definetly solved.
