"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. Wieland
